Specialty Walks

MORNING MEADOW WALKS
Wednesdays, July 19 thru September 6, 10:00 - 11:00 am

Members: Free; Non-members: Included with Preserve admission.
Pre-registration suggested.

Amidst a sea of waving green grasses, native bees and butterflies gather nectar or pollen from milkweeds, mints, bonesets and coneflowers. Before the day heats up, take a guided tour of our 4-acre meadow to learn about native warm season grasses, meadow ecology and plant-pollinator interactions. This vigorous walk leaves from the visitor center. For ages 10 and up.

Winter Solstice Walk

Thursday, December 21
10:00 am – 11:30 am
Instead of hunkering down and bemoaning the longest night of the year—also known as the winter solstice—celebrate with a stroll through the Preserve with Education Coordinator Kelly Joslin. We’ll celebrate the joys of winter with a walk on the Preserve trails at a time when the sun is lowest in the sky and we experience the shortest days of the year. We’ll conclude in the Visitor Center with hot drinks and cookies. For ages 8 and up. »
