The Nature & History Behind Iron Creek Preserve: A Four-Part Hike Series – Session 2 Post World War II

September 10 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Join us for a rare opportunity to walk the land with Sybil Kolon—longtime steward, storyteller, and donor of the beautiful Iron Creek Preserve.

Experience session two of a four-part guided walk series that travels backward through the layers of human history etched into the landscape.

Over the course of four months (Aug. 13, Sept. 10, Oct. 8, and Nov. 12), Sybil will lead participants on 1.5-mile walks through the preserve, weaving together personal stories, historical accounts, and ecological insights to illuminate how the land has been shaped—and reshaped—by those who’ve called it home.

Session 2 – Post World War II
📅 Wednesday, September 10 | 2-4pm
From tractors to tile drains—see how Polish immigrants pursuing the American Dream transformed the land through farming, and how Legacy is working to restore it today.
