big trees and winding trails


We were treated to great weather once again for the second meeting of Into the Wild Family Nature Club. Our small group enjoyed sunny skies and mild temperatures while we viewed Elk Falls and explored the surrounding trails. The forest was lush and damp, dominated by cedar, douglas fir and hemlock. Paul treated us to an impromptu natural history lesson and clever story about tree identification. It's all in the pinecones, which the kids enjoyed collecting while we walked the winding trails.

Next meeting is March 7th. Meet at Nymph Falls Nature Park parking lot at 11 am. After exploring the trails we'll break for a picnic and some time to play. Hope to see you there!
