What's bugging you? Let's take a hike to observe some of the little things that are really running the world.

Insects have short lives, and many of them are small creatures, but they have a HUGE impact in the ecosystem. Walk with a park ranger to a location where we can net and observe some of these tiny influencers. We will provide insect capture equipment and all critters will be released unharmed after observation.

Who: All ages, best for 6 yrs+. Minors must be accompanied by their parent or legal guardian. No pets, please. This is a public program intended for individuals or families.

Where to Meet: This activity meets at the Picnic Pavilion, near the Visitor Center. Lot A or B will be the closest parking.

Registration is NOT required, but the program is limited to the first 25 people to check in at the Pavilion.
