Join us for a hike at Mammoth Cave National Park on the Echo River Spring Trail. We’ll be joined by Park Ranger Brice Leech and learning more about the park’s native and invasive plant species. We’ll enjoy scenic views at the overlooks and the “blue hole” where the underground Echo River Spring meets the Green River. 

This trail is a little less than one mile on a paved loop starting and ending at the parking lot.

The coordinates to the Echo River Spring Trail parking lot are: 37.179540, -86.111350

If you would like to use Google Maps to navigate, the coordinate are available here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/8BCkSrK6Drgvy2Hs5 

Learn how to use high-density plantings that replicate natural ecosystems in aesthetically pleasing designs, enhancing ecological functions while reducing maintenance efforts in our upcoming Wild One's national webinar, "Matrix Landscape Design" with author, landscape designer, activist, and educator Benjamin Vogt.

Matrix planting is a landscape design approach that mimics natural ecosystems by closely planting and layering compatible perennials and grasses to cover the soil, provide more ecosystem services, and eliminate the need for wood mulch or aggressive weeding.  Join Wild Ones for a webinar to learn how author, educator, and landscape designer Benjamin Vogt applies this approach to create stunning native gardens. Learn the principles behind this method, its ecological benefits, and practical steps to implement matrix planting in your own garden. 

You will also learn about Benjamin's latest collaboration with Wild Ones on the new Native Garden Design for Lincoln, NE. Don't miss this opportunity to gain insights from a leading voice in natural garden design and take your gardening skills to the next level. Register now to secure your spot!
