Free Interpretive Walks of the Reserve
Join us on the second Sunday of each month, from 9:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., for a free interpretive nature walk. You have the opportunity to hear about the amazing plants and wildlife at Elfin Forest Recreational Reserve. Walks are moderately paced on the lower creek trail and begin in front of the Elfin Forest Interpretive Center Honoring Susan J. Varty.
Starting in May 2024, Al Bates will be leading walks on the second Sunday of the month, and there will be no offering on the third Sunday of the month.
