MOUNTAINSIDE, NJ – The Union County Board of Chosen Freeholders is pleased to announce an early spring guided nature hike, for adults 18 and older, at Trailside Nature and Science Center in Mountainside on Saturday, March 28 from 10:00 to 11:30 a.m.
This program offers an opportunity to walk deeper into the reservation and experience the beauty of the woods. A Trailside naturalist will lead a guided hike along one of the bucolic trails in the Watchung Reservation. Participants will learn to identify some of the trees, observe signs of animal activity and learn the ways in which plants and animals adapt to the season. Please dress appropriately for the weather. The fee is $10 for Union County residents and $12 for out of county residents. Pre-registration is recommended.
“This is a unique opportunity to experience nature on an interpretive hike with a professional naturalist. It’s a great way to spend the morning before you start your Saturday activities, says Freeholder Chairman, Mohamed S. Jalloh.
Trailside Nature and Science Center is located at 452 New Providence Road in Mountainside and is a service of the Union County Board of Chosen Freeholders.
