Get Wild! Nature Detectives

Join TLC for a family friendly wildlife scavenger hunt!

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:

If the event is full, please email Meera Butalia at [email protected] to be added to the waitlist.

Current Mask Policy: TLC seeks to build a supportive, mask-friendly environment in all collaborations with staff and the public. Please wear a mask if you are not vaccinated, or if that makes you feel most comfortable. We will have masks available if you would like to wear one during an event. We also encourage those eligible to be vaccinated to get their Covid-19 vaccine and booster shot. If you are experiencing any Covid-related symptoms, please stay home and attend a program another day. Our top priority is to create a safe environment for our community. Thank you for your understanding.
