What makes meadows special? How has this landscape transformed throughout the ages? Take a morning stroll with a ranger to witness the morning activities of wildlife in a meadow and along the forest edge. We will listen and look for the creatures who call this habitat home today, and learn about who may have roamed this land in the near and distant past.

The trail is mostly flat and the walk will be at an easy pace. Wear comfortable walking shoes, and bring a pair of binoculars if you have them.
