WCSM Conservation Chairman arranged for a field trip to the Louisville Nature Center (LNC), located near the Louisville Zoo. The visit to the center included a private program and tour of the building and the grounds by LNC Executive Director Rebecca Minnick. The group visited late in the year, so therefore, many of the native flowers and plants were not in bloom. The group plans on revisiting the site during the growing season.
