Presented by Ivy Creek Foundation

5/3/26 Changing Landscape Hike

Registration ends Sunday, 05/03/2026 8:00am EDT

About This Event

Much has changed since the Carr/Greer family ran River View Farm, but there are still signs of their early activity in the current forests. Take a walk to observe the effects of farming and time on the current landscape and forest ecosystems.

Join Tom Wild for this hike as he points out some of the evidence of forest succession, different forest communities, and the imprint of farm activity on the landscape. We’ll use historic aerial photos to see how fast these changes have taken place.
