Spring Wildlife Warm-up Hike

SELF-GUIDED HIKE ACTIVITY: Springtime temperatures in Maryland can vary daily – some days it feels like winter will never end and then surprise – the next day feels like summer! But, as the air and soil temperature increase, leaf and flower buds will begin to open, insects emerge from their overwintering shelters and reptiles become more active. This hike will challenge young weather watchers to use soil thermometers, laser thermometers and even their own keen sense of touch to locate sunny spots that might be just perfect for a basking turtle or a slithering snake! This SELF-GUIDED ACTIVITY is for families with children 8+ and meets at Brookside Nature Center.

Intended for ages 8 to 12

This event will be held at Brookside Nature Center
