Nature Walks

Spooky Campfire Night

Spend a spooky, but family-friendly night beneath the stars and towering trees of Pilcher Park. Cozy up to a campfire while roasting marshmallows and listening to eerie stories told by our naturalists. In case of inclement weather, alternate activities will take place inside.

Read the Storybook Trail and Craft

Join us for a guided hike on our Storybook Trail! We will read a story to you as you walk along the trail and then come inside to make a fun craft. The stories and crafts will be related to the current season.

Fungus Among Us

Is it a plant? Is it an animal? Discover the world of fungi, the most important living things you've never heard of! Join us for an exploration of the myriad of mushrooms and their kin that help our forest thrive, from giant puffballs to crowned corals. Learn firsthand how to identify the deadly and the delectable as we examine the variety of fungi that pop up throughout the year. Dress for dirt, as we'll be keeping a close eye to the ground as we hike through the woods!
