Get ready to explore some of the littlest life in our park at Bugs and Beyond! We will meet several live insects and other small critters up close, learn fun facts about their habitats and behaviors, and discover why they are so important to nature. Afterward, we'll take a short guided hike to search for more critters along the trail.

This event is intended for families with children, although all are welcome! The hike will be about 1/2 mile on easy terrain.
