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. 

YOUR GUIDE

Edna has worked for over 30 years as a Botanist in the mountains of central Idaho and California. She has also done botanical illustrations for numerous native plant and survival books authored by her husband, Ray Vizgirdas.
