When you come to the event you can choose the type of day you'd like to have. Our group options will be:
-
Nature Stroll Group: Slower paced, guided walk and talk that's ideal for kids. The focus is to get outside and connect kids with nature. iNaturalist optional based on individual preference.
-
Plants and Pollinators Group: Slow to medium paced guided walk. The focus is getting pictures and/or identifying plants and pollinators as you walk along Mt. Tabor's paths. iNaturalist encouraged for this group.
-
EcoBlitzer Group: Faster paced group with the goal of taking pictures and/or identifying as many things as you can on your walk. The focus is to maximize data collection and species diversity. iNaturalist highly encouraged for this group.
