When
May 8, 2022. 10:00 a.m. - 3:30 p.m.
It’s Mothers Day and our trails are full of mother animals taking care of young. Some care for pups, or chicks, or even larvae. There are 28 critters in hiding along Crostic, Ground Pine, Beaver Lake, and Spillway trails and we need someone to help us find them and match them to their babies. Grab a tracking sheet and map from the visitor center to help you find them all.
