TRAFALGAR, Ind. (AP) The wind whistled through the bare branches of towering red and white oaks at Laura Hare Preserve at Blossom Hollow, carrying the scent of the forest and of the arrival of spring.
From on top of a ridge, visitors to the Trafalgar area preserve could look out over small lakes and ponds that are part of the Lamb Lake system. If they listened closely, they might hear the fluting of the wood thrush and the voices of worm-eating and hooded warblers.
Passing another hiker is a rarity, as the preserve is one of Johnson County’s best kept secrets. But the trust that oversees the beautiful natural spot hopes to encourage more people to discover it in the coming months.
