Registration is limited to groups that include children.

Let's go on a walk at Cherokee Marsh North to look for signs of the seasons changing. We'll watch for animal tracks, wildlife, and listen for bird song. We'll have a wagon full of fun things that we can stop to pause and explore with: magnifying glasses, binoculars, and bug keepers. If it's not raining, we will nature journal together at the end.  The walk will be on even trails at a leisurely pace so bring the whole family. Park in the loop parking lot at the end of N. Sherman Ave.
