Legends, Labyrinths, & Lore
Sunday, August 8 2-4 pm
Join Jennifer Eis and Don Ward, authors and lecturers, for an educational walk-about at their 50-acre protected private property. Site of the “Wisdom Keeper-Wisdom Seeker” summer lecture series for the past 12 years, this is a rare and wonderful opportunity. Weather permitting, you will be free to explore the teachings of the Medicine Wheel, walk the largest turf Labyrinth in Michigan, sit in the Talking Circle or the coils of the Great Serpent. Interpretive signs at each of the features will allow for a self-guided experience. Arrive anytime between 2 and 4 pm and expect the unexpected. Due to the walking and fragility of structures, this program is not suitable for young children. Preregister and get directions through the Conservancy at 231.347.0991.
Discover the Elmer Johnston Preserve
Thursday, August 19 10 am to noon
The 220 acre Elmer Johnston Preserve arguably has the best view of any preserve in the LTC’s system. On a clear day six islands (North and South Fox, Beaver, Whiskey, Garden, and Hog) are visible. Almost two miles of trails wind throughout this hilly and mostly forested preserve. Join LTC staffer Doug Fuller on a guided exploration of the Elmer Johnston Preserve. Bring your lunch along to stay afterwards for a picnic, if you’d like.
