Wandering the Wetlands

Green Hill Pond

When

May 24, 2025. 10:00 a.m. - 11:30 a.m.

Explore the park's expansive wetlands with us as we search for and identify the plants and animals that call this unique habitat their home. Bring along a camera or a pair of binoculars for an up-close view of this diverse ecosystem. Wear some comfortable shoes since the hike will cover a little over one mile on fairly level terrain.
