Kick off the new year outside with naturalist Kerry Wixted as we head out for a wintery hike around Annapolis Waterworks Park.
We will start hiking in a slightly hilly area filled with beech trees, then wind down to the former Annapolis reservoir. Let’s look for mammal signs and winter birds and practice winter botany skills along the way. Our group will be small with a leisurely pace for a couple of miles and be full of shared observations.
- Family-friendly event with a minimum age of 12 years and older.
- Dress appropriately for the weather, consider hand warmers, tea, etc to keep yourself comfortable.
- Wear sturdy shoes with good traction.
- Bring water and a snack. We will stop for a quick food break while hiking.
