On Friday June 5, Haywood Waterways Association will lead a moderate 6-mile hike in the Sunburst area of Haywood County. Shannon Rabby, Instructor of Fish and Wildlife Management Technology, Sciences and Natural Resources, will share his knowledge of local trees and woody plants on our way to a waterfall.
The event is free for Haywood Waterways’ members and a $5 donation for nonmembers; memberships start at $25.
The event is part of Haywood Waterways’ “Get to Know Your Watershed” series of outdoor recreation activities. The organization works to maintain and improve Haywood County’s waterways through education, citizen engagement, and partnerships.
The group will meet at 10 a.m. at the picnic tables behind the Jukebox Junction. The hike will conclude by 4 p.m. Hikers should be prepared to hike through mud and several small streams. Bring lunch and water. Please leave pets at home.
