On this special Walk with a Naturalist, we will walk one of the longer trails on our property. We’ll still go slow as we look for plants and animals, even in the dead of winter, and we expect to walk no more than 3 miles. Please bring a lunch and / or snacks to eat on the trail and dress for the weather.

Cost: Free!

Age: Adults and children ages 12 and up, accompanied by an adult.

Bring: Please bring water, a snack, and/or lunch if desired.

Weather policy: Date and time subject to change dependent on weather. Please check your email for updates on the morning of the event.

COVID-19 Information: This program will be entirely outdoors (an outside porta potty will be available). Please do not attend if you are experiencing or have experienced in the last two weeks any symptoms associated with COVID-19 (fever, cough, shortness of breath, etc.).

Registration is REQUIRED.

Join us for a walk on our trails with one our naturalists. In August we will be focusing on the weather! Habitat Specialist and weather enthusiast Andrew Eberly will talk a bit about the Virginia’s summer weather and then will narrate some of the afternoon’s weather phenomena on the walk. We focus so much on plants and animals that it’s sometimes easy to forget about the weather that keeps our ecosystem going, so this is a great opportunity to learn about an underappreciated subject. Please note that this program is from 3 to 5, as opposed to 1 to 3 like most of our Walks with a Naturalist.

Cost: Free!

Age: Adults and children 12 and up, accompanied by an adult

Weather policy: Rain or shine except in case of extreme weather (e.g. thunderstorm or significant snow fall). Please check your email for updates on the morning of the event.

What to bring: Water bottle, hat, sunscreen, binoculars.
