In its display of changing colors, Fall is a great opportunity to learn more about the native Virginia tree species found within the park. Join a ranger at the Visitor Center as we sharpen our tree identification skills, discuss how trees support a diverse forest ecosystem, and celebrate the natural bounty and beauty of the season. Accompany the ranger afterwards for an optional hike on Taskinas Creek Trail to practice these identification skills using a Field Guide and dichotomous key.
