Guided Nature Program | Fall Colors, Berries, & More
What
Explore the vibrant world of fall foliage at Bogus with Botanist Edna Rey-Vizgirdas! On this approximately 2-mile walk, we’ll find a mosaic of colors as well as nature’s bounty of berries, seeds, and rose hips! As the days grow shorter and cooler, animals take advantage of this wild harvest to fatten up for winter.
