Birds, Botany, and Butterflies Nature Walk

The Feliciana Nature Society will host a nature walk, “Birds, Botany, and Butterflies at The Bluffs,” on Saturday, September 15, from 9:30 to 11:30 am. Participants will meet at The Cottage (the former Bluff’s country club) on Sunrise Way for a guided walk along the three-mile nature trail at The Bluffs Country Club and Resort, located off of Louisiana Hwy. 965 in West Feliciana Parish. Admission is free. Participants are advised to bring bottled water, binoculars, and insect repellant. Light refreshments will be provided at the end of the walk. No pets please.

The walk will be one of light to moderate difficulty along the paved three mile nature trail. Portions of the trail are hilly, with two somewhat steep changes in elevation. The trail covers a variety of habitats, including bottomland swamps, upland hardwoods, and a semi-arid cactus area.

Directions:
From Interstate 10 in Baton Rouge, take Interstate 110 North toward Baton Rouge Metro Airport. Stay on I-110 until it ends at Exit 8C; U.S. Highway 61 to St. Francisville and Natchez. Proceed approximately 20 miles north on Hwy. 61 and turn right on Louisiana Highway 965 (965 is north of 964 and 966); this is also the turn for Audubon State Historic Site. Proceed 6 miles to The Bluffs (on right) and follow signs.
