5 Spring Activities with your family at WPNR

At last it is Spring!  Along Walzer Way we welcome the Spring Equinox along with a very special surprise - a “Supermoon” will grace the skies this evening above Earth.  

Spring for most is a time of renewal, and for nature and those that love nature – it is a time for intense observation and sensory overload.  The gray skies will turn to blue, the drab color of soil and dry leaves will give rise to green buds and leaflets.  The color of the rainbow will start to show its face in blossoms and other early ephemerals.

Here are a 5 awesome activities to #GetOutside at WPNR this spring:

1. Spring Scavenger Hunt from our front desk.
2. Borrow a WPNR Nature Trail Pack from the front desk, and take a Reserve Hike for insects, birds, and more nature discoveries.
3. Take a Rainy-Day Mud Walk for animal tracks along the Thicket Trail
4. Grab a Birding Hotspot Card from the trail box and follow suggestions for great Spring Birding stops along our trails.
5. Visit the pond and dip net for creatures waking up and hatching on top of and under the water.
