Sunday, August 22                Upper Buffalo River Canoe Trip
Cool off from the summer heat with our annual canoe trip on the remote and beautiful upper Buffalo River.  See fewer people and more wildlife!  We will meet at the canoe rental at 11:00 a.m.  Expect to be on the river 4-5 hours, so bring plenty of provisions.  $15/person to rent a canoe, or they will transport yours to the put-in for $10.  For directions, visit www.buffalocanoeing.com.

Saturday, September  11         Little Grinder’s Creek
This registered natural area is on land owned by a timber company.  It has two lovely waterfalls and is home to the globally rare Tennessee yellow-eyed grass (featured on Swan Trust’s logo).  Meet at J&C Grocery, 4 miles west of Summertown on Hwy 20, at 1:00 pm.  We will car pool to the site.

Stay tuned to the web site for additional outings or potential changes to any of the above!
