The public is invited to join Shirley Heinze Land Trust to celebrate the dedication of the trail at Cressmoor Prairie Nature Preserve in Hobart in honor of the late Keith Board. The event will begin at 2pm on Saturday, August 24th near the west entrance of the nature preserve. A dedication ceremony will begin at 2:30pm, with guided hikes of the preserve to follow. Light refreshments will be provided.
Keith Board made significant contributions to Shirley Heinze Land Trust and the greater conservation community through his devotion to the study of botany, and the discovery of special natural areas such as the Myrna J. Newgent Nature Preserve near Rolling Prairie, and the 41- acre Cressmoor Prairie State Nature Preserve, one of the finest protected black-soil prairies in Indiana. Keith was a resident of Bremen, Indiana, and was a long-time teacher at Bremen High School.
