Where

Program Location: Mossey Creek Trailhead

When

July 26, 2025. 2:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.

Come explore the world of 'creepy crawlies' as we search high and low for our smallest of neighbors: bugs! Half nature hike, half scavenger hunt, we’ll learn plenty about out local insects and their habitats. Closed-toe shoes, drinking water, sunscreen, and –ironically- bug spray are recommended. Bugs found during this program will be used later in the afternoon for our Painting with Bugs program.
