Join Jay Leutze on our Little Cove Creek Preserve for a morning of storytelling and appreciation for one of the most unique places in the world. Little Cove Creek is a 47-acre preserve featuring a mature high elevation forest, a heritage apple orchard, a stunning stream, and a newly renovated log cabin that will host our afternoon social the same day. If you would like to, we will also be taking periodic strolls down to the creek, where participants can get their feet wet, find a salamander, and enjoy the cascading waterfalls. Anyone and everyone is invited, whether you have a story to tell or not. Long-time Roan residents will appreciate this event as a time to recount how times have changed, what has been preserved, and acknowledge the memories made in our timeless corner of the world.
