My favorite discovery on moving here years ago, given I\u2019m a transplanted Philadelphian, has been Bolin Creek.<\/p>\n

Its upper reaches, between Homestead Road and Estes Drive, offers the most beautiful and contrasting landscape. Here, you will find beaver swamps, Beech-tree forests, steep river banks and volcanic hillsides that trace a more violent geologic past, a mere half a billion years. Particularly impressive is the ancient ravine behind Chapel Hill\u2019s neighborhood of Ironwoods.<\/p>\n

Yet, many citizens have yet to discover these wonders. All ages will have a chance this weekend, however, when Friends of Bolin Creek sponsors a two-hour hike at 2 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 9, at Wilson Park. The hike is free and will feature several well-known experts talking about wildlife, forest ecology and the nature of creeks. Please meet us at the Wilson Park parking lot at 1:50 p.m.<\/p>\n
