Join us at Legg Park to learn about the creepiest, coolest creatures and plants native to Meridian Township! Fall is a great time to explore the world of animals that are often misunderstood! Slimy, flighty, fast, jumpy, and crawly creatures can give folks the heebie jeebies, but they serve an important role in our ecosystems. We can't wait to see some creepy cool critters! COSTUMES WELCOME! Come connect, learn and conserve with us!
Trailside Ecology hikes occur throughout the year at a different park or preserve. These events are educational and meant to stir up our natural curiosity. We look closely at lichens, fungi and insects, identify flora, and listen for local wildlife. This group (Meridian Conservation Corps) not only hikes together, but stewards Meridian's naturals areas throughout the entire year. Check us out out at the information below!
Participants are encouraged to pre-register but walk-ins are welcome. To register, or for more information, please contact Land Stewardship Coordinator Emma Campbell at
