Join Russell Lands Naturalist Marianne Hudson for an educational foray into our winter forest. Even though it’s February, some Russell Forest residents are already having young! We will discuss the habitat needs of these animals and look for evidence of their activities. Signs of life are everywhere! This energetic hike is intended to highlight appreciation of the nature that surrounds you.  Appropriate for warmly dressed participants ages 5 – 105.

ADVANCE REGISTRATION REQUIRED! There is a $10 fee for this program. Please contact our Naturalist at 256-496-2710 to inquire and to register in advance.
