The group will meet at 7:00 a.m. at Bell Slough
WMA south (boardwalk) entrance.

The group will walk the Kenny Vernon
Nature Trail, a 2.25-mile loop that is
mostly level walking on dirt/gravel.

The trail has interpretive signs, a photo
blind, and an observation area
overlooking marshy, moist soil units that
can host herons, night herons, egrets,
bitterns, and shorebirds in season.

Breeding birds include numerous
warbler species, vireos, tanagers,
orioles, chats, cuckoos, and eagles.

Blooming wildflowers can be seen along
the trail, attracting butterflies.

Bring comfortable walking shoes,
water, and binoculars (we will have a
few available to borrow).

Directions, take Exit 135 off 1-40 at
Mayflower. At the commuter lot, turn
onto Interstate Drive, which parallels
I-40, down to Grassy Lake Road. Cross
Palarm Creek bridge and turn left into
the WMA parking lot.
