When

Nov. 7, 2026. 11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.

Join us as we explore how local wildlife adapts to the changing seasons through migration, food storage, and changes in behavior. Through a guided nature hike and hands-on activities, visitors will discover the ways animals respond to cooler weather. Learn how these seasonal changes help sustain the park’s diverse ecosystems throughout the winter months! This program is intended for families with young children.

The hike will be about 0.5 miles on easy terrain.
