Pine Barrens and Historic Batsto Trip (Adult Program - Natural Studies)

Tyler Arboretum

Thu, Oct 20, 2011, 8:00am - 5:30pm

Tickets: $55 members, $65 non-members


Join trip leaders Richard Brenner and Jado Foot on a visit to the Pine Barrens’ Batsto Historic Area. First, view the exhibit area and take a tour of the recently renovated mansion of famed entrepreneur Joseph Wharton. Then, enjoy a ramble down pine barrens trails, along a creek and the Batsto River, viewing wildflowers and doing casual birding. After lunching at the picnic grounds, tour the restored iron-making village of Batsto. Finally, visit nearby Evans Bridge, which will likely offer views of the beautiful endangered Pine Barrens Gentian.


Bring lunch, comfortable walking shoes, and insect repellant. A beverage and delectable snacks will be provided.
