Six nature walks at the Oak Ridge Reservation have been scheduled for the 2024 season. The Oak Ridge National Laboratory-organized walks, which are open to the public, will take place at locations across the reservation from April through October. On the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge Reservation, located in East Tennessee, more than 1,100 plant species, 72 fish species, 34 mammal species and more than 200 bird species have been observed. The nature walks are designed to highlight not only the rich flora and fauna diversity of the reservation, but also to demonstrate the work being done to sustainably manage and conserve this resource.
