FenFest Fun

(Say that five times fast!) What’s a fen, you ask? Per our friends at Merriam-Webster, “low land that is covered wholly or partly with water … that usually has peaty alkaline soil and characteristic flora.” Aka, part of the ecosystem at Grass River Natural Area! This weekend, June 6-8, GRNA will host their FenFest celebration at their 1,500-acre nature preserve with kayak tours, a native plant sale, wildflower and orchid walks, birding tours, live music, and more on the sprawling Bellaire property. The two guided kayak tours are $45 per person (including watercraft and equipment) and require pre-registration. The walks are $10 a pop, and several other events, including presentations on invasive species, are free. Get all the details and sign up for activities at grassriver.org/fenfest.html.
