Channel your inner naturalist and take part in Project BudBurst, a nationwide campaign to gather data and learn how trees change. Participants should bring their own water, sunscreen, bug spray and comfortable walking shoes. Please note: The bridge on Fenno Road to Merkle is closed for repairs until further notice. From Rte. 301 take Croom Road. Instead of turning onto St. Thomas Church Road (as most GPS units and maps will suggest), continue on Croom Road, then make a left onto Nottingham Road and a left onto Fenno Road. Merkle will be on your right. Visit the Web site for more complete directions. No pets allowed. Contact Park Ranger Karen Jarboe for more information.
