HAWKINS — Jarvis Christian College’s new nature trail, constructed with funds from a Trail Grant from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, will open Mar. 25 at 11 a.m.. The ceremony will be held at the pavilion/outdoor classroom, next to Meyer Science and Mathematics Building.
The nearly 2-mile trail winds through and around natural wetlands found in the northeastern corner of the college’s property. The trail includes an elevated boardwalk exceeding 1,500 feet in length. The plant and animal diversity of the trail area is still being studied, but at least 20 species of non-flying mammals of squirrel size or larger are known to be present, and more than 40 species of trees have been identified within 15 feet of the trail corridor.
The trail will be open to the public on a regular basis, but specific hours have not been released.
