Meet your wild neighbors Wednesdays and Saturdays
What better way to start your day than with a leisurely morning stroll around Mertie’s Lake and through the forest at Lichterman Nature Center. The Center invites visitors to amble through nature and meet their wilder neighbors along the way on guided tour walks with a Lichterman Nature Center naturalist. The guided tour walks take place Wednesday and Saturday mornings now through August 29th. Check-in for the tours is at 9 AM at the Visitor Center. The tours begin at 9:15 AM.
“We scheduled the guided tours before we’re open to the public to take advantage of cooler morning temperatures, and fewer guests on site to scare off wildlife on the trails,” said Andy Williams, Lichterman Nature Center manager.
Cost of the tours are $10 for adults and $8 for youths. Members receive a $1 discount on adult and youth tickets. Each tour group will include from five to a maximum of 10 participants. Tours will take place rain or shine, and are approximately 45 minutes long. Walks conclude with a live animal ambassador visit.
Preregistration is required by 3 PM the day before the walk.
