Ripley County, Little Black CA, Fern Nook Natural Area
Help bird one of this years target/focus areas, Little Black CA in Ripley County. We will visit the Fern Nook Natural Area portion of this CA. A 2.5- 3 mile walk will take us through old growth pine and oak forests, old field succession, and along the edge of a spring fed marsh. The final habitat visited will be what has been described as the highest quality bottomland forest in the Ozarks. This diverse stand of towering hardwoods and rich ground flora has not been disturbed since the Civil War.
We will plan on being back to vehicles at noon and have lunch in town. Group consensus will decide what to do after lunch. Options are to go home, visit another portion of Little Black CA or one of the other CA’s in the county.
We will meet May 18 at 8 AM at the Doniphan Towersite. This MDC office and firetower is located on Hwy. 21, 1/2 mile north of the intersection of Highways 21 and 160 just east of Doniphan.
