See all- Guided Seasonal Walk11000 Lake Forest Blvd, New Orleans, LA
Interpretive Ranger Steve Stevens will be leading an approximately one-hour long guided seasonal walk on Sat, Mar 23th at 11:00 at the Audubon La Nature Center. The focus will be primarily on seasonal change. Spring is upon us and the trees, flowers, and creatures are aflutter with activity. Meet in the breezeway, at the top of the entrance ramp. 11000 Lake Forest Boulevard, just east of Read Boulevard. Following, there will be time for independent exploration on one of the other trails along with time to experience the other offerings. Trails and restrooms are open 8:30-3.
Then head to the Interpretive Center, a beautifully designed 4,000 sq ft exhibit area and a place for discovery, featuring displays of La nature and opportunities to chat with other Rangers on staff. Open 10-2.
Steve has six years experience at the facility as well as credentials with Loyola Center for Environmental Communication, National Assoc for Interpretation, National Phenology Network, La Master Naturalists, and brings a slightly different perspective as an animal geographer.
Bring sunscreen, water, journal, camera & binoculars. This time of year, mid-day visits often work best and while there are no concessions on site (other than bottle fillers) there are spaces for people to enjoy packed-in lunch.
