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<p>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<p>Read more <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newsobserver.com\/news\/local\/community\/chapel-hill-news\/chn-opinion\/article53607880.html#storylink=cpy\" target=\"_blank\">here:<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bolincreek.org\/blog\/chicadee\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3221\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3221\" src=\"https:\/\/bolincreek.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/chicadee.jpg\" alt=\"chicadee\" width=\"1280\" height=\"862\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bolincreek.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/chicadee.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/bolincreek.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/chicadee-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bolincreek.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/chicadee-1024x690.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My favorite discovery on moving here years ago, given I\u2019m a transplanted Philadelphian, has been Bolin Creek.
