Become a scientist by helping us record species in the park! We will look high and low for plants and animals, from treetops to under rocks in the creek. Dress for on- and off-trail hiking and creeking adventure. Program begins at 6:30pm with a quick intro. Running a few minutes late? Hike down the Five Oaks trail and you should find us.
