This program invites participants to explore the rich biodiversity, cultural significance, and essential ecological services that wetlands provide, from water purification and flood control to habitat for countless species.Led by our Engagement Coordinator, Bella, an Indiana Master Naturalist and Certified Interpretive Guide, the hike will highlight seasonal wildlife activity, native plant communities, and the interconnected systems that make wetlands so unique.
Perfect for nature lovers, families, photographers, and anyone curious about the natural world, this hike offers an opportunity to connect with the environment, ask questions, and deepen appreciation for these often-overlooked ecosystems.
