Ivy Tech Community College Columbus biology faculty are offering free local nature hikes for anyone interested in learning more about the natural environment around them.

The next hike will begin at 10 a.m. Saturday, December 7, at the Laura Hare Nature Preserve at Downey Hill off of Valley Branch Road in Brown County. Ivy Tech Columbus faculty member Dr. Tom Sobat will lead the hike exploring trails within this Sycamore Land Trust property and providing information about winter bird counts.

The hike is open to the public, and all community members are welcome. Participants are encouraged to dress appropriately for the weather. The college will have some binoculars available for use, but participants are encouraged to bring their own binoculars if they have them.
