Rotary Club of FFB

By: Fred Hilsenrath We had an interesting talk with Dr Don Culwell and Carol Corning. They told us about a new park that opened last year on the shores of Greers Ferry Lake. It has the forest walks and is a delight to nature lovers. Dr Don Culwell is a retired professor of biology at the University of Central Arkansas. He is curator of the Vascular Plant Herbarium and director of the Jewel E Moore Nature Rserve. Carol Corning is the Director of the South Fork Nature Center. South Fork Nature Center is located south of Clinton near Choctaw and is a 65 acre reserve with a mile of trails, with scattered benches, nature signs, and a 100 year old log cabin (was the home of Almeda Riddle, noted balladier of the 1960′s). Nature walks occur every third Saturday of the month at 10 a.m. (June-August 9-11 a.m.) and otherwise as scheduled. The public is welcome.Go to www.gatesrogersfoundation.com or www.southforknaturecenter.org for further information. Here in Fairfield Bay we are particularly fortunate to have natural beauty all around us and we are happy when part of that beauty is available to us.
