Instructions
Meet at the nature center. Dress accordingly for the weather, wear appropriate footwear for hiking. Bring a hand lens (at least 10x) if you have one, or borrow one of ours. A notepad and close-focusing digital camera or smart phone, if you have one, are also useful. We will mostly be outdoors; the paths we will take will have gentle inclines and may have roots or puddles.
