The
Scotch Ridge Center is an area along the North River at the
HWY 5 gateway to Carlisle that is being developed as a place
for celebrating, preserving and learning about the area's
unique environmental and cultural heritage. It's
primary feature is an extremely rare transect of four
distinct soil-based ecosystems: a riparian wetland, a
riparian woodland, an upland prairie and an oak
savannah,
all within walking distance of one another.
The center will provide a learning
center and repository for historical data, artifacts
relating to the native inhabitants and first settlers of the
area, and the history of Northeast Warren County.
