With fall weather quickly approaching, there is a variety of sights, sounds, and colors to be observed out in nature.
Animals are beginning to hunker down for winter, leaving behind many different signs. On Saturday, November 9th at 12:00 p.m., the environmental educator will lead the program and guided hike, Discovering Animal Tracks along the way. Come investigate the woods to discover how animal tracks and traces reveal varying habits, physical characteristics, and interactions about wildlife. Following a presentation, the group will go outside and search throughout the nature preserve for animal signs and be able to determine which animal was in the area. While there is no guarantee of snow, tracks can be discovered in many places and in many ways, such as tracks in the mud or rubbings from deer antlers. The program will still take place if it is raining or snowing, so please dress appropriately for the weather.
The fee for this program is only $4 per person, or $12 for a family. Children under the age of three are free! The recommended age for this program is 5+. All youth must be accompanied by an adult.

Stop by for this great program or head out on your own time. The trails are open from dawn to dusk, 365 days of the year. There is no parking fee and there is a map of the trails when you arrive. The best way to learn about ecology is to be out in it!
