Oak Spring - An Exploration of Landscape and History with Michael Gaige and Peter Crane
The Oak Spring landscape is full of hidden history - in the trees, the rocks, the stone walls, and the arrangement of forest and field. On this one-day program we will explore the countryside of Oak Spring and Rokeby and learn to see the landscape through a lens of history, and of contemporary ecology and the ways the one leads to the other. We’ll start with tree identification and build up from there – keeping our distance from each other – but getting up close with the landscape.
This program is ideal for anyone wanting to read more deeply into the local landscape. No prior experience in ecology is required. However, we will be walking the land all day and expect to cover 4 miles over uneven and gently hilly terrain. Participants should arrive prepared to be out all day with proper footwear, water, etc. Lunch will be provided.
The itinerary for the day is:
Space is limited to 10 people per session. The entire program will be outside and strict socially-distance protocols will be observed.
Program Fee - $75 per person including a sack lunch.
