FOPOS Fall Foliage Nature Walk // 10.30.25

Celebrate the beauty of autumn with a guided nature walk through the vibrant trails of the Billy Johnson Mountain Lakes Nature Preserve. We'll begin at the scenic Mountain Lakes House and set out into the preserve to witness the stunning fall foliage.

Along the way, we’ll pause to appreciate the natural beauty of the season and collect native seeds from select species. These seeds will support our Native Seed Propagation Program, which helps restore and sustain healthy native plant communities in the Preserve.

As a bonus, participants are welcome to take home a small packet of extra native seeds to plant in their own gardens and continue supporting local biodiversity.

This event is suitable for all ages and is a wonderful way to enjoy the crisp fall air, connect with nature, and contribute to conservation efforts. This walk will be moderately challenging along trails with uneven terrain and a rocky stream crossing. All ages are welcome!
