Description
Learn more about our amazing spring plants and animals with a guided nature walk along the scenic trails of our 125-acre wildlife sanctuary. As we explore moderate terrain, we'll uncover the hidden world of Pink Lady’s Slippers, spring wildflowers, and the wildlife that thrives this time of year.
What to Expect:
- Discover the unique ecology of Pink Lady’s Slippers and other woodland wildflowers.
