About the event

Expand your knowledge of our local flora and fauna by exploring a different area of the park each month. Join park staff as they "nerd out" over a different group of animals, plants, fungi or other living things each month. Help collect data for our Biodiversity Project on iNaturalist while increasing your own identification skills.

This month we will go on a spider hunt! How many different kinds of spiders can we find and ID in our time together?

This program takes place outdoors and may include walking distances of up to one mile on both paved and natural paths. Please dress for the weather, including sturdy, closed-toed shoes. Participants may request program modifications during the registration process.

Schedule: Oct 9, 2026 Friday from 1pm to 2pm
