CRESTVIEW — Master Gardener Bob Bayer will present "Nature's Bounty on a Woodland Trail." 

The event — 10-11 a.m. April 19 at the Okaloosa County Extension Office, 3098 Airport Road, Crestview — is a one-fourth-mile walk along a native plant trail.

Participants can view a variety of native plants along the trail; each plant is listed in an accompanying brochure. 

Bayer will give a brief description of the trail's history and explain how the trail has provided raw materials for the office's compost project, which eliminated the need to purchase organic material for soil amendments and mulch.

This event is not handicapped-accessible. If there's severe weather, Bayer will present a program featuring photographs taken during the trail’s development in the extension meeting room.

Registration is required for the free event due to limited space. Call 689-5850 to register.
