Guest hike leaders – Pathways to Parks founders Larry and Tanya Marie Pender – will lead a loop hike on SAHC’s Elk Hollow Preserve, highlighting a beautiful view of Elk Hollow Falls. The group will hike along the Everett Bowman Memorial Trail through Golden-winged Warbler habitat, deep forests, and scenic vistas, culminating in a spot beside the crystal clear waters of Elk Hollow Branch. This hike will be guided by SAHC’s partners from Pathways to Parks, whose vision is to motivate Americans of color to get outdoors and enjoy the benefits of nature in our national, state, and local parks and to help make it easy and accessible for them to do so. Larry Pender is also an SAHC Board member.
Following our adventure, we invite all participants to join us at Elk Hollow Preserve, a quick 20-minute drive away, for our Drop-in Social. Let’s come together to revel in the conservation victories of the Highlands of Roan!
