Ivy Tech biology professor holding Saturday nature hike

Ivy Tech Community College in Columbus will be hosting a nature walk on Saturday to help you learn more about the local natural environment. The school’s biology professors are hosting the series of hikes with the next along the Driftwood River near Edinburgh.

Ivy Tech Columbus science faculty member Dr. Tom Sobat will lead the hike, focusing on birdwatching of spring migrants and bird diversity.

The hike is open to the public, and you are invited to attend. You should dress appropriately for the outdoors and the weather. Hikers will meet at 7:30 a.m. in the morning in the first paved parking area at the Driftwood State Fishing Area. That’s at 8825 S. U.S. 31, near Edinburgh.

If you are planning to take part and have binoculars, you should bring them. The college will have some sets on hand you can use.
