Fall color topic for family adventure at Glacial Park

Submitted by McHenry County Conservation District

If you looking for something the whole family can do for free on a Saturday afternoon, join a “Lost Valley Venture” from 2 to 3:30 p.m. Saturdays, Oct. 12 or 26, at Lost Valley Visitor Center in Glacial Park, Route 31 and Harts Road, Ringwood.

This family exploration program includes a nature lesson, game, and activity based around this month’s topic, “Fall Color.”

If the weather allows, guests will also go for a short outdoor exploratory hike with staff, so dress for the weather and walking. No registration is required. All ages are welcome.

Topics change monthly. In November, it will be “Wild Turkeys.”

This program is intended for families and cannot accommodate organized groups. Youth groups should contact Prairieview Education Center at (815) 479-5779 to schedule a program for their group. Visit mccdistrict.org.
