Join Arabia Mountain Heritage Area Alliance Program Manager, Jennifer Dickie and Birds Georgia Habitat Program Manager, Gabe Andrle on a habitat and history tour of the historic Lyon Farm property and South River riparian forest. Participants will begin the day with a 2 mile walk from the historic farm site down to the South River to look for warblers, flycatchers, vireos and other migrants. Upon returning to the historic site, they will learn the story of people who lived at Lyon Farm, free and enslaved, as we visit the existing structures and imagine the historic landscape. We'll consider how the landscape alteration over 200 years changed everything for the humans, plants, and animals who lived here. What was lost? What was gained? Where are we today?
