♦ FUNGUS AMONG US
Saturday, October 18, 2025 | 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
There is fungi all around us. Without it, trees couldn’t grow and soil couldn’t form. Take a peek beneath the cap to discover fungi’s role and what we can find in local woods. This hike will be partially off-trail.
♦ TREE ID 101
Saturday, November 8, 2025 | 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
Is there a tree in your backyard you have been trying to identify. Have you ever gone for a walk and wondered what trees you’re seeing? Learn what to look for when identifying trees to recognize common species. This hike will be partially off-trail.
♦ OWL PROWL
Saturday, January 24, 2026 | 5:30 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.
Even in the depths of winter, animals are awake and active. Search with us for one of the first signs of spring – owls calling and looking for mates.
