Fisher Farm is the crown jewel of the Davidson park system. With 200 acres of beautiful, conserved land, it’s a fabulous place with something for everyone… hiking, biking, running, archery, bird watching or just enjoying a nice picnic.

The park is still in its early stages of development so there are a lot of exciting initiatives and research being completed at the park and we want to highlight these and show you all the park has to offer.

This event will consist of a short service project and then a discovery walk to highlight the work of DLC, the Town of Davidson and Davidson College. This event has two parts and you can come to either one or both. Please indicate what you plan to participate in when you sign-up.

Part 1:  Arbor Day Celebration and Service Project

One of Fisher Farm’s most important features is its diverse forest and we continue to add trees to its canopy. We will celebrate Arbor Day with a short stewarding project where we prune and mulch some of our younger trees to ensure their continued growth. This will be led by Town Arborist, Andrew Sileo. No previous skills or tools needed. We will provide both and you can take your new skills back to your own backyard trees.

Part 2:  Fisher Farm Discovery Walk

This part will entail a short hike through six stations that highlight exciting work being done at Fisher Farm.  There will be various presenters that discuss projects like controlled burns, pollinator fields, trail improvements, stream restoration, greenway extension, bird life projects and the honey bee hives installed at the park.  This walk will only be a mile and is good for people of all ages and mobility levels. If you have any mobility limitations, please indicate this on your sign-up so we can make proper accommodations.  Please wear proper footwear and bring a water bottle.
