## About

A one-hour guided afternoon walk through Shelby Bottoms park to look at the peak fall colors and learn about the plants that produce them. A nature center naturalist leads the group through the park, learning about the plants that paint the fall picture. All ages are welcome, so it works for families with children in carriers or strollers as well as older kids. The walk starts at 2 pm on Saturday, November 21; registration is required by calling or emailing the nature center.
