Special Notes:
1) It is recommended that you arrive DRESSED FOR THE WEATHER. A comfortable hiker is a happy hiker. Bring raincoats & boots as needed. If it is not thundering or lightning, we will go outside (otherwise, we’ll be in the indoor nature center). Wear older shoes (no open toes) and clothes that can get dirty. Long pants are recommended year-round. WARNING: This spring season is particularly bad for ticks – it’s suggested that you wear tick repellent and a head covering (hat, bandana etc.)
2) This is a very limited event, only 20 people allowed so that the walking tour can be done in such a way that everyone can hear the speaker. You must sign up by email: https://willcounty.wildones.org
