Join TLC to learn more about the plants and animals at Johnston Mill Nature Preserve!
Come take a romp through the forest and investigate all the clues that our native plants and wildlife leave behind! Soak up new knowledge about our native critters through hands-on exploration of their habitats. Learn about the different types of animal signs, investigate what creatures make their home at Johnston Mill Nature Preserve, and start to listen for, look for, and notice where they’ve been!
Get Wild! Hikes and activities are most appropriate for 5 years and up. Bring sun protection, a water bottle, and shoes that can get muddy. Please register all members of the family attending, including children and adults.
This is a free event, but pre-registration is required.
Double-Check Before You Head Out!
We make every effort to make sure that everything on Triangle on the Cheap is 100% accurate.
However, sometimes things change without notice, and it’s also possible that we can make a mistake.
Please verify all deals and events with the venue or organizer before you go.
