Fall in the Woods

Fall in the Woods

Sunday, October 8
11 a.m. – 2 p.m.

Guided Woods Walk: 1 p.m. 
Meet at the McDonald Woods Shelter

Celebrate fall and get out in nature in the Garden’s McDonald Woods. Get involved with our community science program, Budburst, by observing plants changing color and setting seed. Find out how to be part of our seasonal challenges and how to submit observations with our mobile app. Then set out on a self-guided walk in McDonald Woods. We’ll have one guided woods walk, lasting approximately 45 minutes, at 1 p.m. (a short trail loop is about 1/3 mile; the longer trail loop is about 2/3 mile). Before or after your walk, warm up by the fire at the McDonald Woods Shelter (weather permitting).

Dress for the weather. If winds are 20 or more miles per hour or if there is heavy rain, the program will be canceled.
Free; regular parking and admission fees apply.
