Pawpaws and Butterflies Walk @ Ackermann Nature Preserve
Aug 7 @ 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm

Join the Westmoreland Land Trust for an evening nature walk at the Otto and Magdalene Ackermann Nature Preserve in North Huntingdon Township.  We will be looking for native pawpaw trees and also enjoying late summer butterflies at this peaceful nature preserve.  This guided walk will be slow-paced, but will involve clambering down some steep sections of trail. Please wear sturdy walking shoes and dress for the weather.
