OGS is going to school! A large part of the OGS mission is to familiarize ourselves with the outdoors and we feel that other people’s experiences and presence are essential to that. Thus we are continuing our “field trips” to various properties, preserves, and other accessible outdoor spaces. One field trip per semester, these are intended to be informal, open ended hikes that allow for any manner of curiosity to be expressed while exploring new places. The hikes will be hosted by an OGS instructor and take place throughout the tri-county (Jackson, Lenawee, Washtenaw) area. As with any hikes in the area there is the potential for steep and uneven ground. Please contact us if you have questions regarding accessibility. Summer Semester Field Trip Location: The Nature Conservancy’s Nan Weston Nature Preserve. A 248 acre parcel located on the River Raisin that protects high quality forest and wetland areas.
