Hike to ID Birds and Orchids at Eagle Creek Park

Join Central Chapter Members of Indiana Native Plant Society ("INPS") for an awesome in-person adventure! We'll be hiking through the beautiful trails of Eagle Creek Park, a great location to search for breeding birds and, with some luck, blooming orchids led by Wes Homoya with the Indiana Audubon. Perfect for nature lovers and anyone looking to learn more about local wildlife while enjoying fresh air and stunning views. Don’t miss this chance to explore and connect with nature up close!

Hike begins at 3 p.m.
