Do you love being out in nature? Do you want to ignite your curiosity about the natural systems where you live?

Join us at Umstead State Park for a morning of guided activities to connect with and explore nature while meeting other nature-lovers and naturalists.


We will take time together to appreciate the sights and sounds of our natural environment and begin to think about how we can bring that inspiration into our lives!
