Wild nature tour scheduled for Saturday

The sights and sounds of the Limberlost will be the focus of a guided tour this weekend.

Limberlost State Historic Site will host a guided tour of Limberlost Music of the Wild Nature Preserve and Bird Sanctuary at 9 a.m. Saturday.

Attendees will join a Limberlost naturalist for a hike along Limberlost Creek, which runs through the area. The naturalist will provide information about the ecology of the area, which was used as the setting for “Music of the Wild” by author, naturalist and photographer Gene Stratton-Porter. Participants should be prepared to hike up to 2 miles.

Admission ranges from $2.25 for youth members to $4 for adult non-members. The event will begin at the Limberlost Visitor Center, 202 E. 6th St., Geneva.
