It’s Fall y’all!! Join us on an autumn jaunt and note the changing of the seasons. Changes are happening everywhere as the animals and plants of Russell Forest prepare for upcoming low temperatures. We will spend time learning about how the forest changes into its autumn wardrobe and discover the amazing features that allow this transition to happen. Impromptu discoveries always abound as we spend time in this outdoor classroom. Learn while you exercise!

We do recommend that you have a moderate fitness level and are able to stand or walk for at least two hours. Walking pace will be relaxed with frequent stops. Comfortable, seasonally appropriate clothing and shoes are advised. You may also wish to bring bottled water and sunscreen. Insect repellent is provided. Binoculars and cameras are welcome. Remember, there are no bathrooms on the Forest Trails. Appropriate for participants ages 5 – 105.

There is a $10 fee for the Guided Nature Tours and you must register in advance!  Please contact Naturalist Marianne at 256-496-2710 to inquire and to register.
