Dedicated to Adrienne: Nature Walk and Visit to The James A. McFaul Env. Ctr.

Let's revisit The Wyckoff Nature Center, a great place for our horticulturists and nature enthusiasts! Let's see what's blooming.

The James McFaul Environmental Center was also one of Adrienne's favorite places, where she took her kids, when they were growing up, along with her Mom, so this one is for you Adrienne. Bring a memory to share.

The lovely grounds once home to a Pig Farm are now full of ornamental and rare plantings, a treat for our Master Gardeners and horticulturists! There are also a few wildlife exhibits outside by the nature center. Donations are welcome.

This will be about a 3 mile, 1-2 hour walk with many stops, on paved, crushed gravel, grass, a pier and woods trails, mostly flat, with one moderate hill and some steps you can opt out of. On our walk thru the woods(depending upon trail conditions), look for the Bear Paw on the trees which designate a nearby Kiosk with info about the foliage at that spot.
We will first be stopping at the nature center where we will spend about 30 minutes visiting with some interesting critters.

WEATHER RESISTANT Hiking shoes or boots are recommended depending upon previous days' weather, along with Water, sun protection, bug spray and snacks.
