The variety of habitats within Brokaw make it a great place to explore. In the wet-mesic forest, you can find jewelweed—and green dragon if you’re lucky. The mesic forest has seven species of oak, including the noteworthy shingle oak. Finally, the old field habitat is a great place to stop and smell the wildflowers, like wild bergamot and common mountain mint. Come out to help build and maintain the trails for nature explorers. Meet at the parking lot off West Huron River Drive, just southeast of Wagner Road (map: tinyurl.com/BrokawHRD).
