Leader: Stephanie Mason
Join our Senior Naturalist for these seasonal, broad-based nature explorations of nearby parks rich in natural history. We’ll walk between 2-4 miles, on natural surface and possibly muddy trails, as we enjoy the development of fall color, late season blooms and insects, resident and migrating birds–and all manner of animal and plant life. Occoquan Bay National Wildlife Refuge near Woodbridge, VA protects open grasslands as well as bottomlands along Belmont and Occoquan Bays. At the Patuxent Research Refuge/North Tract near Laurel, MD we’ll explore Coastal Plain woodlands and wetlands. Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens, on the banks of the Anacostia River inside the Beltway, features protected swamp, marsh and woodland habitats within sight of DC’s urban sprawl. REGISTER
