Nemophilist (pronounced ne-‘mo-fe-list), is an obscure word that hasn’t really been used for over 100 years. It means someone with love or fondness for forests, woods, or woodland scenery, or someone who often visits them – a ‘haunter’ of woods. The word derives from the Greek ‘nemos,’ grove, and ‘philos,’ affection.
The Bob White Nature Trail is a one mile lightly trafficked loop trail that offers the nemophilist in each of us the chance to see wildlife in a serene setting. The trail is primarily used for hiking, walking, and nature trips and is good for all skill levels.
