Big Eastern Grand Opening

October 16 @ 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm CDT
Free

Join us to celebrate the grand opening of Big Eastern Nature Preserve to the public! Acquired in 2025, this 423-acre property became the organization’s second conservation project in Starke County and its largest single-land acquisition. The preserve protects a diverse landscape where several rare plant communities come together, creating outstanding opportunities for hiking, wildlife viewing, and nature study.

We will meet at the parking lot at 1374 W 800 S, North Judson, IN 46366, for remarks and refreshments. Guided hikes will be offered following the program.

 

What to Bring: Long pants and sturdy shoes are recommended. We encourage you to bring your own water bottle as there is no potable water at this location.

Weather Policy: Rain or shine. Event will be cancelled in inclement weather. No rain date.

 

Please note that this event will take place at 3pm Central Time.
