Find out about the amazing wonders of trees on this leisurely-paced hike around Sausal Pond with Docent Naturalists Olga and Tony Bright. As you follow the Ridge and Betsy Crowder trails you’ll learn about how trees make their own food and protect themselves from predators. This is an easy, family-friendly walk with only a few slight inclines. Feel free to bring snacks.
