Event details

Fall in the forest is an experience of the senses. The air feels cool and crisp with hints of earthy smells. The trees are a collage of oranges, yellows and reds until their leaves turn brown, fall and become crunchy under your feet. Embrace these natural wonders as you join a naturalist for a guided hike along the trails of Goodenow Grove Nature Preserve. Engage your senses and mind while viewing the breathtaking colors and discussing the science behind what you’re experiencing.
