Get outdoors this fall with Little Traverse Conservancy. A free cranberry picking event will take place this Saturday. Pre-registration is requested online at www.landtrust.org/events or by calling (231) 347-0991 except where otherwise noted.
Pick cranberries at Vermilion Point Saturday, September 28 from 11 a.m. -2 p.m. at the Vermilion Point Nature Preserve, Chippewa Co.
Early fall can be one of the nicest times to visit Vermilion Point. With luck, there will be blue skies, no frost, warm water, fall color, and no bugs.
Tom Allan, who lived at Vermilion Point for eight years, will lead a cranberry-picking field trip to this remote preserve. He’ll cover a little history on the old cranberry farm and the life-saving station, and a little bit of wetland and interdunal ecology. Bring your own bucket to fill!
