Guided Year’s End Hike at Audubon Friday, December 31
The public is invited to join an Audubon Community Nature Center educator for a winter walk on the last day of the year, Friday, Dec. 31, from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m.
Learn more about the plants and animals that are continuing to prepare for the coming winter months and explore Audubon’s trails. Use senses to observe what is happening in nature, all while taking advantage of the opportunity to search for peaceful moments in the outdoors on a mid-morning walk.
Be sure to dress for the weather. This event will be canceled if the weather is severe. Face coverings are not required for outdoor activities. While donations are appreciated, the walk is free of charge.
Participation is limited to 20. Reservations are requested by Wednesday. To reserve a space, call the Nature Center during open hours at 569-2345 or go to AudubonCNC.org and click through “Upcoming Programs.”
Walk-ins are accepted if there is room.
