Witness Trees of Elkhart County
Experience the story of Elkhart County through the eyes of some of its oldest residents: trees! Our 100, 200, and 300+ year old trees have been witnesses to centuries of history and change. They also support their own unique ecosystems and play a special role in the habitats where they grow. Join this caravan driving and hiking tour to see, touch, and admire some of Elkhart County’s biggest and oldest trees.
• What to Expect: Participants must provide their own transportation – carpooling is encouraged! Restrooms and water only available at some stops.
