The hike will begin at 10 a.m. and conclude at 1 p.m. at the Kellogg Environmental Center, 500 Hawthorne Ave.
Please bring a beverage and an eco-friendly lunch which is one that uses recyclable or reusable items for containers.
Participants will explore trails in nearby fields and woods to see how organisms are suited for survival and learn about ways plants and animals are adapting due to habitat or temperature variations.
Participants will create a nature journal for use on the trails and will be able to borrow binoculars and magnifying glasses or bring your own to observe animals along the way. Participants are asked to be accompanied by an adult or to be part of an adult lead group such as Boy or Girl Scouts.
Registration is required; the fee is $5 per child.
For more information, directions, or to register, call the Kellogg Environmental Center, 203-734-2513, or email donna.kingston@ct.gov.
