🍁 Wonders of the Woods: A Natural History Walk at Beaverdam Reservoir 🍁
Details
🪷 COST: There is no fee for this event.
🥾 DESCRIPTION:
Enjoy a natural history walk in the woods and along a sparkling lake, learning about some of the wonders of our local forest ecology. Engage your senses, focusing on the trees, in a beautiful setting, while in a relaxed, curious, and discovering way.
🍁 WHAT WE'LL DO:
We will cover less than 2 miles in less than 2 hours. The well-maintained trails (sometimes narrow) are flat with dirt and leaves, some rocks, and sometimes, mulch. Introductions are at 9:45 and then we start walking at 10:00, with many opportunities to stop, learn, question, and engage.
👉🏼 Bring lunch if you would like. The guide will stay after the walk ends for anyone who would like to gather and eat their lunches together. Optional suggestions for the event: bring your charged up cell phone for taking photos and using nature apps, a notepad for jotting down ideas, a pad and pencils for quick sketches, binoculars, magnifying glasses, etc.
