Join Larry Shelton, TCA’s National Forest Policy Coordinator, at the Oaklawn Baptist Church parking lot at 10:00 AM Saturday, April 30, 2022. We’ll caravan to the trail head, then take a walk through an area TCA has nominated as a Special Management area, to protect its mature trees and exceptional biodiversity. We’ll picnic along the trail and aim at being back at the trailhead by 2:00 PM.
