Our natural world is full of fascinating plants, animals and water all in different landscapes. These create ecosystems where everything lives and thrives. When you learn about what’s supposed to be there you’ll know if something is missing, and what you can do about it. It all starts with observations!

As part of this year’s national Girl Scouts Love State Parks weekend, kick off this weekend of discovery with self-guided activities (available through your local council). Find your nature connection, and earn a Girl Scouts Love Virginia State Parks patch* while also meeting the requirements to earn the Daisy “Animal Observer”, Brownie Legacy Badge “Bugs”, Junior “Flower”, or Cadette “Trees”. You can also work towards the Ambassador “Water” and Senior “Sky” badges.

*Patches will be mailed after September 30, 2024.

On Friday evening, put your observation skills to the test with a Ranger-Led hike as part of our Twilight Hike Series. Explore an enchanting evening amidst the rolling Blue Ridge Mountains as the sun sets and the world transitions from day to night! Embark on an easy guided hike that winds through lush forests, open fields, and picturesque meadows. Please dress for the weather, wear footwear appropriate for hiking and bring water/snacks for all hikes. Leashed pets are welcome on all hikes.
