Do you think spiders are spectacular?

Prepare for the spooky season with the Jefferson County Greenways’ Naturalists. Meet at the pavilion for a fun-filled evening of spider spotting and fascinating, hands-on nature education for all ages. We will have a short animal program featuring nocturnal natives, followed by a guided hike where we search for some splendid spiders. The hike will be approximately a quarter of a mile with little incline but some rocks and roots. Please wear sturdy shoes and bring water.

We hope to see you there (with all 8 of our eyes)!
