October 28th, 1pm - 3:30pm - Tamarack Social Hike - Mertaugh/Birge Nature Preserve

Meet up at the Hessel School House where we will car pool to the nearby Birge/Mertaugh/Nye/Wallace Nature Preserve. This preserve has multiple access points along Point Brulee Road just 2.5 miles west of the blinker in Hessel on M134. The preserve includes over 800 acres of North Huron wildlands including 2.5+ miles of Lake Huron Shoreline. We will explore a relatively new trail at the south end of the facility that juts out .5 miles to overlook Search Bay. We will pay particular attention to the tamarack trees in the area, a spectacular conifer that turns color to a blinding yellow each late fall. Meet up afterwards at a local establishment for fellowship and refreshments.
