National Public Lands Day - Park Trailgate

Location of Hungry Mother State Park in Virginia

Where

Hungry Mother State Park, 2854 Park Blvd., Marion, VA 24354.
Spillway

When

Sept. 23, 2023. 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.

Come check out our Trailgate which is like a tailgate for a football game, but this one's more nature-centric. We will be offering various stations on birds, plants, bats, insects, and a host of others for all ages as well as hikes throughout the day. There will be hands-on activities to discover nature in fun and exciting ways. Last year, a station was set up to see the Brown Booby, a Caribbean bird, so you never know what just may be seen at the Hungry Mother Trailgate!
