About this event

Grab your explorer hat! Young wildlife detectives will venture into the nearby Cumberland State Forest, searching for animal tracks, nests, and signs of life.

With a focus on local biodiversity, these sessions encourage observation, inquiry, and a love for nature.

This activity includes a short walk on the Sensory Trail where students/participants undertake a quiz in small groups.

For ages 5 – 12

Join us at the “Shepards Picnic Area” in the beautiful Cumberland State Forest. Perhaps stay for a picnic or a wander afterwards and make a morning of it!

NOTE: As this event is held in the forest, we recommend that all attendees wear long sleeves, long pants and enclosed shoes and that standard sun protection (hat, suncreen etc.) be applied/worn.
