Tours and Explorations

For Adults and Teens ages 15-17 Join us for a pre-dawn owl prowl through the Pinetum and some areas outside the deer exclusion fence. Be on the lookout for Great Horned, Screech, and Barred Owls. Less likely but always possible are Saw-whet and Long-eared owls. Don’t miss this rare chance to listen to owls calling under an early morning sky! PRE-REGISTRATION REQUIRED. Registration closes at 5:45 pm the evening before the program, so make sure to register on time. Gates will open at 5:30 am and close promptly at 5:50 am, so please be on time. The group will meet on

Rain or shine Appropriate for Adults (18+) and Teens ages 12-17  Join wildflower expert Dick Cloud on an informative two-hour hike that takes you through meadows, woods, and occasionally streamside. Although the focus is on plants, we will talk about whatever we might see while we are out! In the winter months, we will focus on identification through seeds, berries, foliage, and branches. All levels of knowledge are welcome. There may be some periods of moderately paced hiking, so wear comfortable hiking shoes. Feel free to bring a camera and a wildflower guide, such as Peterson’s Field Guide or Newcomb’s Wildflower Guide, if
