Get the Scoop on Nature

Join your local Naturalist, Amber Carpenter, for a fun afternoon getting the “scoop” on nature! We will go for a leisurely stroll through the park (about a one-mile round trip) to explore what nature is up to this time of year.

A nature themed scavenger hunt and supplies will be available for those wanting an additional challenge while hiking.

Afterwards, we will enjoy a refreshingly cool ice cream treat to celebrate National Ice Cream Day! Please wear comfortable walking shoes, dress for the weather, and bring a water bottle.

This program will take place at Oriole Ridge Lodge in Hickory Grove Park (67466 250th St. Colo, IA 50056).

Cost is $5 per participant. Register online by July 17.
