Penny’s Bend, an 84-acre preserve, has a unique geology and therefore distinct soils that support rare plant species. Join Alec Motten, professor emeritus, and Paul Manos, professor of biology, Duke University, for a relatively easy hike, under two miles. The spring wildflower season is challenging to predict, but we will see plenty! Plan to wear weather-appropriate, comfortable clothes and good walking shoes.
