Hike With a Naturalist - Beaver Pond Trail

Join us for a lovely and easy 1.5-mile hike along the Beaver Pond Trail at the Little River National Preserve. The hike will give us a great opportunity to see some native plants and a plethora of birds. Please wear footwear suitable for hiking. Bring water, sun protection and possibly a snack.
