Travel the Blue Trail to read along to this month’s story - The Three Bears’ Halloween.

The Blue Trail begins behind the Nature Center. This 0.75 mile dirt loop has some steep hills. Stop by the Nature Center after you’ve completed the trail for a free book.

Self-led | Free and open to all.

Bring your favorite mug to the Nature Center for free coffee in the Bird Watching Room. Get cozy and enjoy watching birds visit the feeders.

Donations are welcome.

Self-led | Free and open to all.

Let’s push towards inclusion!

Enjoy the beauty of the forest through a relaxing, family-friendly gathering focused on inclusion.

Ainsley’s Angels will provide riders for those with disabilities that would like to be pushed along the trail. Family members are welcome to push their loved ones in our chairs or in their own wheelchairs. This is a relaxed walk or stroll rather than a race, although runners are welcome to enjoy the course as a training opportunity, too!

This event is open to everyone. No registration required.

Looking for a way to personalize your gifts? Learn starter watercolor techniques with artists Jean Felmy & Venna Werner. Each person leaves with a 48 color paint set, brushes, and the art pieces created during the session. 

Meet in the Turner-Grey Meeting Room.

Registration required as supplies are limited.

Members: $10/person | Nonmembers: $12/person.
