BAINBRIDGE, Ohio — The Arc of Appalachia will host the Sandy Springs Dunes Guided Hike on June 6 at 1 p.m. at Sandy Springs Dunes Preserve, U.S. Route 52, Stout, Ohio. Attendees will take a hike through a population of Eastern Prickly Pear Cactus during their peak seasonal bloom, observing pollinators and flowers that last just a single day. The Sandy Spring Dunes Preserve protects an ancient point bar deposit in the Ohio River Valley, where past weather shifts created wind-blown sand dunes and a rare, drought-tolerant ecosystem. The preserve is home to diversity found almost nowhere else in the region. The cost is $10 per person. The preserve, owned and managed by the Arc of Appalachia, is located just west of the Sandy Springs Cemetery along US Route 52.
