Bring the family and celebrate this New Year by adventuring out into the woods and on the Trail with a ranger. All tiny participants will be given helpful hands-on bug finding tools for investigating nature signs.

Let's try to use all of our senses to see, smell, touch, track and observe. Animals, plants, bugs, birds, fungi, etc. I spy with my little eye...

There is always something waiting to be found out on the trail no matter the time of year. With shorter days and cooler temperatures, which animals do you think we may or may not see signs of? What nature signs will we stumble upon, today?
