Please consider joining us for a planting event of the Ozark Chinquapin at Bluffton Nature Preserve (TNC) on Wednesday, April 24 at 10:00. We will be planting around 20 germinated seed at the Preserve. This planting will be relatively rugged off-trail and will involve carrying in equipment and seeds (to include rebar and tree tubes). Please bring water and wear hiking boots with ample ankle support.

For anyone who is not feeling up to the trek into the nether-regions, we will also be planting a few more Chinquapins behind Bluffton House (which is flat and relaxing); after which, just relax on the patio and send out moral support!

Either way, please register for this event.

Directions:

About 6.0 miles north of the Hwy 65/09 intersection in Clinton on Hwy 65, take County Road 79/Watergate Road (600 feet north and across from Botkinburg Foursquare Church – Correctly located on Google). Continue down Watergate Road (keep right at the fork) and watch for the Double-Drop Falls sign (35.653407,-92.525950), proceed approximately 20 feet, turn right into driveway and continue to the parking in front of Bluffton House (coordinates: 35.652746,-92.527426 - copy and paste into Google Earth or Maps).
