Naturalist Nature Walk

>> REGISTER HERE <<
Slow down, look closer, and experience Reeves Meadow in a whole new way on this guided nature walk led by an AMC naturalist. Together, we’ll explore the trails surrounding the Reeves Meadow Visitor Center, discovering the plants, wildlife, and natural rhythms that make this landscape so special. Along the way, your naturalist will share insights into the trail's ecology, use tree/fern finder exercises, explore INaturalist and take a moment to invite you for a quiet reflection.

Designed for all levels of experience, this walk is welcoming, unhurried, and rooted in curiosity. Whether you’re hoping to learn something new, enjoy a peaceful moment outdoors, or connect with others who love nature, this program offers a meaningful way to protect, enjoy, and better understand the outdoors—right in our own backyard.
