This hike will focus on the variety of plant and animal life that relies on SHADE to thrive. Sunlight is essential, but some things grow better on the darker side of nature. We will get down low to peer at the living things who rely on a lack of sunlight to thrive. This energetic hike will offer both learning and exercise. Appropriate for anyone ages 5 – 105.
ADVANCE REGISTRATION REQUIRED! There is a $10 fee for this program.
