Let’s start welcoming SPRING! Easter means new life, and the gentle innocence of bunnies and chicks reminds us of this holiday’s significance. We will note why these unassuming animals proclaim the Resurrection on this holiest of Christian holidays. Bring your camera and your children or grandchildren to the Naturalist’s Cabin two Saturdays this month or to SpringHouse on Easter Sunday for the opportunity to photograph their interactions with these traditional symbols of Easter and spring. Appropriate for all ages. No charge – everyone is welcome!

Join Russell Lands On Lake Martin Naturalist Marianne Hudson for an educational foray into a forest reaching for spring! Spring means forest babies, and we will discuss who’s hatching and what’s happening in Russell Forest. March means buds, babies and birdsong — and we will explore the trails to find evidence that spring is coming to our piece of paradise. This energetic hike will offer both learning and exercise. Appropriate for participants ages 5-105.
