(WTWO/WAWV) -- A trail at Wabashiki Fish & Wildlife Area offers users an opportunity to slow down and watch for recurring patterns in nature, such as flowers opening and birds migrating. The study of these patterns is called phenology, which is why a portion of the trail is now known as the Wabashiki FWA Phenology Trail. Observing patterns in nature is a wonderful activity for all ages. “The fascination children have with nature’s small details is a great reminder of the joy one can experience in nature,” said Elizabeth Middleton, stewardship outreach specialist for Indiana's Department of Natural Resources. “This new trail is an invitation for Hoosiers to observe how the property’s plants and wildlife change across the seasons.”
