When is the last time you have taken a walk in the woods? What a great way to spend an afternoon away from all the ‘stuff’ that surrounds you! Come take A WALK IN THE SHADE with Naturalist Marianne! For almost two hours, we will be in the woods identifying a variety of plant and animal life. In addition to learning from the things the forest has to offer, we will examine a nearby creek and search for wet residents keeping cool in summer temperatures. This energetic hike will offer both learning and exercise. Insect repellent and sunscreen will be provided – bring your own drinking water and comfortable shoes. No running required and we will travel at a very relaxed pace but we do ask that you have a moderate fitness level and are able to stand or walk for at least two hours. Remember, there are no bathrooms in the Russell Forest!

There is a $10 fee for this program. Please contact our Naturalist at 256-496-2710 or [email protected] to inquire and to register.
