SUMMARY:What’s Beyond the Fence?
DESCRIPTION:FOR ALL AGES \nAre you new to Tyler or a visitor who has never explored the trails outside the deer fence? Join Tyler docent Dave Charlton for a monthly series of leisurely walks on the Tyler Trails. We will spend one to one and a half hours learning to find our way in the natural areas while discovering seasonal changes in the landscape and the flora and fauna that inhabit it. We’ll keep to easy walking trails where you can feel free to bring the family. As we approach spring\, things start to change quickly. The forest changes quickly in May – trees leaf out\, spring flowers begin to bloom\, and woodland creatures reappear. \nCheck-in at the Visitor Center\, where you’ll meet your guide. As with any walk on the Tyler trails\, sturdy shoes are suggested. Participants should bring water and perhaps a walking stick. PLEASE NOTE: Strollers may not be ideal on some of our trails. We recommend a carrier if you bring an infant or young child.  \nAbout your guide: Dave is a long-time Tyler volunteer\, a founding member of our docent program\, and a certified Pennsylvania Master Naturalist. \nPRE-REGISTRATION REQUIRED \nMembers (sign in for your discount!): $5 per adult\, $3 per child ages 3-17\, no charge for children ages two and under. An adult must accompany all children. \nNon-Members: $21 per adult\, $13 per child ages 3-17\, no charge for children ages two and under. The fee includes admission\, so feel free to spend the day at Tyler! An adult must accompany all children. \nGuest Pass Registrants (for non-members only): $5 per adult guest; $3 per child guest ages 3-17; no charge for children ages two and under. Please give your guest passes to the Visitor Center associate at check-in. An adult must accompany all children. \nREGISTER HERE
