Ninestone Land Trust destination for Saturday, Oct. 3, 2009

Northwest Arkansas Audubon Society sponsors a field trip to Ninestone Land Trust in Carroll County Saturday October 3. Meet at 9 AM. Free & open to the public. Everyone is welcome. You do not need to be an Audubon member to participate. We expect to see both southward-moving migrants and newly-arrived winter residents. Come and go on your own schedule. Very causal lunch will be pot luck style; bring something to share or if you prefer, bring your own lunch. Habitats: Piney Creek, classical Ozark upland fields, sandstone glades, soaring blufflines, a stand of mature native shortleaf pine, etc., and especially Ozark birds and transients associated. Birding is our business BUT the affair tends toward the fun and leisurely. Everyone and every skill level & age equally welcomed. We will accommodate mobility or other limitations with appropriate alternatives. Please send me an email or call (479-521-1858) for more information. Hosts: Judith Griffith & Don Matt, Ninestone Land Trust
, 870-545-3559 or waterfall@hbeark.com.
