Join Ben Thesing (Lead Natural Resource Specialist) and others in a walk through the Covey Field to see what's blooming and learn about restoration efforts in the Lake Maumelle Watershed owned by Central Arkansas Water. The Covey Field was a sod production field that is in the process of being restored to a native prairie. It is now past the third year of seeding and the Covey field is starting to leap!
This project was spearheaded by the Little Rock Garden Club, Audobon Arkansas, Arkansas Natural Heritage Commission, Quail Forever, Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, and Central Arkansas Water.
Meeting place is at the corner of Higgenbotham Rd and AR Hwy 10 (34.882377,-92.720741) by 5pm.
The walk will be through tall grass and wildflowers and end at the banks of the Maumelle River. Please bring appropriate footwear, bug spray, and water as it'll be a hot one! Total distance covered will be around 1 mile total. We'll aim for about an hour walk, but may be subject to change with weather or group size.
If you have any questions, text or call Ben at 501-697-6036.
