Bernheim Backroads

Bernheim Backroads

Winter is arguably the best time to explore Bernheim’s backcountry, and that’s just what visitors can do in this five-hour driving tour from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 26. A team of volunteer naturalists will lead the program deep into the research forest and make frequent stops to investigate nature up close. Participants should meet at the Visitor Center and bring a sack lunch and beverage.

Those interested in attending must register by 4 p.m. the day before by calling 502-955-8512 or visiting Bernheim.org. The cost is $20 for members and $30 for non-members. The program is for adults and children ages 8 and up.
