Hay Maze & Pumpkin Patch

Swaner Saturday Morning Nature Walks 2021
Every Saturday from October 9—December 18, 2021, a knowledgeable naturalist from the Swaner Preserve & EcoCenter will take 15 people on a nature walk. Throughout the walk, you will explore wetland science, natural plant and animal species, and the history of the Swaner Preserve. Swaner Saturday Morning Nature Walks are appropriate for people of all ages. Though the terrain is generally flat, you will run into wet ground and experience uneven footing at times, which can be challenging for little ones and the disabled. Depending upon the time of year, participants may see an abundance of birds, elk, or nesting sandhill cranes. Come dressed appropriately for the weather, and enjoy a curated autumn walk through the Swaner Preserve.
