Free, Family-Oriented, Docent-led Nature WalkSolved and Unsolved Mysteries of Edgewood
Third Saturday Nature Walk at Edgewood Natural Preserve
Join photographer and Weed Warrior Alf Fengler on a treasure hunt for unusual or not so unusual plants, animals, or inanimate objects observed from the trails at Edgewood Natural Preserve.
This three mile, three hour walk is suitable for adults, seniors and families with interested children. We'll teach parents and children to identify poison oak, common along the trails.
Visitors can complement their docent-led walk by visiting the Bill and Jean Lane Education Center located near the main entrance. Interactive exhibits explain Edgewood’s connection to the surrounding landscape and its history.
Heavy rain cancels this walk.
Where to meet:
Walks start from the Bill and Jean Lane Education Center at
Edgewood Park and Natural Preserve at 10am.

Bring water, a hat, sturdy shoes, sunscreen, and a snack if you wish. We don't stop for lunch, but picnic tables are usually available after the walks in the Old Stage Day Camp area.
Restrooms:
Restrooms and water are available only at the main entrance.
