Sherry Plank, Boot Lake Nature Preserve Manager, will present a Gallery Talk called "Boot Lake Nature Preserve," on Tuesday, February 4th at 11 am at Ruthmere. Boot Lake Nature Preserve’s sprawling 300 acres encompass wetland, forest, and prairie habitat. A portion of the site has a unique story, having been reclaimed from the City of Elkhart’s sludge farm. The transformed site is now a state-dedicated nature preserve protecting Indiana’s rare and endangered wetland plants and animals.
