Instructions
Participants should meet in the parking lot behind Metropolis Skating Rink.
The hike will take place in an open area where insects may be present, so wearing a hat, long pants, long sleeves, and applying bug repellent is recommended. Please dress appropriately for the weather, bring sunblock and a coat if needed, and wear comfortable hiking shoes. Don't forget to bring water and binoculars for the best birdwatching experience.
Children are welcome but should be able to manage a longer hike. Participants are welcome to stay for as much of the program as they like.
