Pearl’s Fen is showing its peak colors, so we scheduled a last-minute hike to enjoy them. Naturalist, author, and former Director of Conservation for Five Rivers MetroParks David Nolin will lead us on a walk through this extraordinarily biodiverse, peat-accumulating wetland—one of the rarest of ecosystems. Trail Description: An unpaved parking lot and gravel path lead to the accessible boardwalk trail. Those who wish to extend their hike can visit nearby Oakes Quarry Park via a connector trail.
