Wildflower Wonderland
Saturday, April 19 | 10 - 11:30 am
Learn about the wonders of spring wildflowers, where to find them and how to identify them using characteristics like flower and leaf shape. We'll learn why a flower is more than a pretty face - they have important jobs in the forest. This program includes a short wildflower hike.
We will provide a basic checklist of common wildflowers, but participants are welcome to bring a field guide as well.
Let's Go Birding!
Saturday, March 29 | 9 - 10:30 am
Birding is a great way for families to spend time together outside! Come join us for a family-friendly bird walk and find out more about the birds of Tennessee. We'll go over easy tips for identification, practice using binoculars, and go for a bird scavenger hunt along the trails.
Bring your binoculars! Don't have a pair? We will have a limited number of binoculars to borrow. We will provide a basic checklist of common birds, but participants are welcome to bring a field guide as well.
Note: To protect the wildlife, we do not permit pets on the Sanctuary grounds.
