National Trails Day

Join University of Illinois Extension Master Naturalists and the Western Illinois Natural Group (WING) as we celebrate National Trails Day on June 1st.

Our celebration of National Trails Day includes activities for all ages, plus guided hikes, food, demonstrations, and speakers. The event begins at 8 a.m. and will finish up at 12 p.m.. Guided hikes will leave at the top of every hour, with each hike consisting of its own theme.
Guided hikes will include:
• 8 AM Birding Hike
• 9 AM Invasive Species Hike
• 10 AM Woodland Hike
• 11 AM Prairie Hike
• Noon Butterfly and Insect Hike

Education stations will be positioned at the trail-head in the shelter. Come learn outdoor skills and how we can be environmental stewards in our own backyards. Kids can participate in the wildlife scavenger hunt to find hidden silhouette shapes of wild animals along the trails. Find them all to win a prize!
