FREEPORT — The Northwest Illinois Audubon Society’s April program scheduled for 7 p.m. April 6 features the Pacific Coast Trail. 

Presenter Greer Black describes his experiences hiking 2,600 miles of the Pacific Coast Trail. That trail has been described as a place that reveals the beauty of the desert, unfolds the glaciated expanses of the Sierra Nevada, travels deep forests and provides commanding vistas of volcanic peaks in the Cascade Range. Black, a resident of Milwaukee and law student at Marquette University, is an avid backpacker, most recently hiking the Ozark Highlands Trail in Arkansas.

This program is open to the public. To participate, email nwilaudubon@gmail.com to receive the Zoom link. The meeting begins with chapter announcements followed by the feature presentation. For more information, visit the Northwest Illinois Audubon Society website at: nwilaudubon.org.
