We will be using our five senses to find clues to how various organisms – plants, animals, and more - work together to survive in this forest community. Recommended age 7 - 11, with parents. This guided .03-mile walk will be approximately one hour. The Sensory Explorers’ Trail is a nature trail accessible for the blind and visually impaired. Programs on the trail are designed to explore a variety of senses in the exploration of the natural world.
