Black Earth Trails & Terrain
 The
Black Earth Campus, with its more challenging topography, mature
woods, and rocky outcroppings, provides complementary
experiences for maturing "knee-high naturalists" and
is an outdoor learning laboratory for more challenging
exploration by middle school, high school, and other students.
The Black Earth terrain is marked by steep hills and rocky, wooded land surrounding a grass valley.
A council ring and fire pit are located in the heart of the
valley.
Trails lead visitors around the valley and up the hillside to
remnant prairie patches and outlooks. Wear sturdy shoes for
hiking, and be sure to dress for the weather!

Land projects
include: the creation of a prairie plot on a former corn
field, the restoration of an oak savannah in the valley;
and other native planting projects. Volunteers for these
ongoing projects are always welcome! |
