Pearl's Fen-Oakes Quarry Heat Wave Hike, about 4 miles

Join me for a walk at Pearl’s Fen, the quarry rim and back to the fen. Oakes Quarry and Pearl’s Fen are two adjacent parks with diverse geological formations and unique biodiversity. It’s a walk through geologic time--400 million years ago to the present.
Meet at the parking lot of Pearl’s Fen, 4535 Byron Road, Fairborn, OH 45324.
