Organized by the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, six guided nature walks, which are open to the public, will take place at various locations across the Oak Ridge Reservation from April through June.

The Oak Ridge Reservation, located in East Tennessee, is home to more than 1,100 vascular plants, 72 fish species, 34 mammals and over 200 bird species. These nature walks will not only highlight the reservation's rich flora and fauna but also demonstrate the ongoing efforts to manage and conserve this vital resource.
