As part of Pollinator Week, Fred Roane, our park naturalist, will lead a nature hike through the park, showcasing the pollinator gardens and other “back-to-nature” projects in the park.
When Highland Lake golf course was ready to go out of business, the Village of Flat Rock stepped up to acquire the 66-acre property. Three years later, more than 1,500 trees have been planted, 20 bird boxes installed, three owl boxes put up, a honey bee hive is in place, and over 4,000 sq. feet of pollinator gardens have been planted.
