Join a Master Naturalist on the second Thursday of the month for an easy walk through the woods. Along the way, we’ll look for wildlife, wildflowers, and anything else of interest as the park transitions into autumn. This program is intended for participants 55+ but friends and family of all ages are welcome. Please register every member of your group in advance. Walk takes place on natural surface trails. Rain cancels the program.
