With temperatures falling, and winter weather on the horizon come learn about the puddles that will soon form on the forest floor. These unassuming puddles—better known as vernal pools—provide a unique ecosystem for a variety of amphibians and invertebrates.
This is a unique hike for the serious hiker: an amazing loop-hike connecting various Wissahickon Trails-protected properties, and taking you from the creek through woods, fields and farm land. We will go through the Camp Woods Preserve, the Armentrout Preserve, the new Briar Hill Preserve, Prophecy Creek park, and the Willow Lake Farm Preserve - and of course the Green Ribbon Trail.
Learn how to create a safe haven for birds in your yard. We will discuss setting up a bird feeding station, how to prevent window collisions, and the top 10 plants that you can plant for birds.
