So\, a landfill is just burying trash in the ground\, right? Wrong! There is a lot of science behind what is done but there are also a lot of myths. Find out what \;really \;happens in a landfill: Does trash actually decompose? What happens when a landfill is full? You'\;ll also learn how you can reduce what goes in to the landfill. Missy Phillips with Keep Bartow Beautiful will have \;programs at 10:30\, 11:30\, 12:30.
\n\nThe Preserve will be \;open 10 am &ndash\; 5 pm for hiking on your own. Admission is $3 per person/max $10 per family \;or FREE to members and includes parking &\; hiking. Visitors may hike one of the Preserve&rsquo\;s three trails that range in length from a stroll of .25 mi to a 1.7 mi loop trail around the lake.
\n\nLeashed dogs are welcome\, \;but the trails do not accommodate strollers. Please arrive no later than 4 pm so you will have time to finish your hike before we close.
