Crow's Nest Trip Date:  Sunday, May 3, 2009

Hal Wiggins will lead a VNPS trip to the new Crow's Nest Natural Area Preserve.  Find information about the preserve at:

Participants will meet at the headquarters of a Fredricksburg river outfitter.  While there, Hal will make a presentation and all will be outfitted with personal floatation devices. From there, we will travel to Potomac Creek for a tidal/flatwater paddle to Crow's Nest.  We will walk part of the preserve.

The trip will be an all day adventure. We will meet at 9:30 am in Fredericksburg and return there at about 5 pm. Hal Wiggins is a member of VNPS, long time advocate for Crow's Nest and author of Virginia Native Plants and A Field Guide to Crow's Nest.  This field trip is a special opportunity to visit the area with a guide who has explored it for many years.

The trip cost is $25, which covers canoes, transport and a donation.

Limit 18 people.  Rain or shine, except for severe weather.

Reservations necessary due to the canoe rental and must be made by April 24.
