Whoo's out on the Preserve tonight? Multiple species of owls call Kentucky home, and Shaker Village's mixed woodland and prairie ecology is perfect habitat for these winged predators. We'll be using our senses to search for these elusive creatures on this evening hike, listening closely to see if any owls are vocalizing nearby.

Join members of the Preserve Team for a hike into the woods to look for signs of spring activity! As the forest slowly wakes up from a long winter dormancy, plants, animals, and other life start to change and prepare for the growing season. From early ephemeral plants like the Harbinger of Spring (Erigenia bulbosa) to the changing birdsongs as migrants begin to arrive, we're sure to encounter the promise of spring.

winter branch edit

Join preserve technician Judson Collins for a workshop on how to identify trees without their leaves! Together, we'll learn how to identify many of the trees at Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill by their bark, buds, leaf scars, and even smells! While leaves can be a useful characteristic to use to learn plants, these other traits can be just as useful, and are often even more informative of a species' true identity. You'll go home armed with new knowledge and a set of useful resources to learn more about the trees in the area.
