Greetings!

This Saturday, February 17, please join Audubon Miami Valley for a field 
trip to Englewood MetroPark near Dayton, one of the largest parks within 
the Five Rivers Metropark system. At 1,900 acres, it is home to lakes, 
woodlands, wetlands, meadows, three waterfalls, and more than twenty 
miles of trails. With its floodplain forests and wetlands, the Park 
helps to buffer and protect the Stillwater River, which serves as a 
focal point of the Park. A remnant swamp forest, accessible by 
boardwalk, supports an unusual population of trees, including black ash, 
swamp white oak and pumpkin ash. A brochure, including a map of 
Englewood Metropark, is at 
https://www.metroparks.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/MetroParks-Englewood-brochure-03-2016.pdf.

Our visit to Englewood will be hosted by Lauren Asquith, Education 
Specialist with Five Rivers Metroparks. The trip will leave at 8:00 a.m. 
from the TJ Maxx parking lot (on Locust Street across from McDonald's), 
arrive at the Park around 9:00 a.m., and return to Oxford in the 
afternoon. Pack food if desired and bring binoculars if possible. For 
more information, or directions for meeting the group at the site, send 
me an e-mail at [log in to unmask]
