Upcoming Events at the Hays Nature Preserve & Goldsmith Schiffman Wildlife Sanctuary:

The Hays Nature Preserve & Goldsmith Schiffman Wildlife Sanctuary are two nature preserves just east of Huntsville right on the Flint River. Please join us for two fun events this month:

May 17: Get that Bloomin’ Privet Round Up! Meet at 9 a.m. at the Hays Parking lot and we'll carpool over to Goldsmith Schiffman. Bring gloves and the heaviest cutting tools you have. Soos Weber will provide long handled loppers for loaners.

May 31: GIANT bonfire (in big field) and a night ecohike, combined with a potluck (bring a dish—preferably not one that needs heating) to share, and a utensil if needed. The bonfire begins at 6:00, ecohike at 8:30, and no flashlights allowed (for the Ecohike).

For more information about either event, call Soos Weber at 256-427-5116.
