MEDFORD, Ore.- BLM and The Nature Conservancy are hosting free guided hikes of Upper and Lower Table Rock starting April 6th.
Kyle Sullivan, Public Affairs Specialist for the Medford District of BLM, says this is the 38th year they’ve collaborated with The Nature Conservancy to present a Spring Hike Series to the public. Sullivan says the folks leading these hikes have a lot of knowledge to share on topics like botany, archeology, geology and more. He says the two agencies have a long history of co-managing the Table Rock and they can help educate and engage the public on the beauty of the outdoors.
“It’s really an ecologically significant area and the Table Rocks are one of those iconic landscapes features,” Sullivan said, “You know you’re in the Rogue valley when you see the Table Rocks as you’re driving down I5”.
Sullivan says these hikes fill up pretty quickly, so interested folks will want to reserve their spot as soon as possible.
