Join Naturalist Marianne Hudson for an educational foray into our winter forest. The lifestyles of some Russell Forest residents change pace in the winter, but signs of life are everywhere. Find out which denizens are dormant and which are dynamic: cold weather won’t slow us down!  We will search for signs of increasing activity while the day warms. We will especially be searching for signs of White-tailed Deer activity. This energetic hike is the perfect way to kick-start your standard New Year’s resolutions of exercising and appreciating the beauty that surrounds you. Appropriate for warmly dressed participants ages 5 – 105.

Please contact our Naturalist at 256-496-2710 to inquire and to register in advance.
