On the Oak Ridge Reservation, more than 1100 vascular plants, 72 fish, 34 mammals and over 230 bird species have been observed. This year the public is invited to multiple nature walks designed to highlight not only the rich flora and fauna diversity of the Oak Ridge National Environmental Research Park (NERP) but also to demonstrate the work being done to sustainably manage and conserve this resource. Walks will take place on several locations across the Oak Ridge Reservation beginning in late winter and continuing through late summer.
