Hike with a Naturalist – Habitats

The guided walk/hike, which focuses on habitats around Lakeside Nature Center, typically occurs on the upper Fox Hollow trail which is primarily covered with rock and accessible for most participants. However, depending on the naturalist and topic of the hike, another part of the Fox Hollow trail might also be incorporated, which may be a little more challenging for some hikers.

Please gather outside the main doors of the Nature Center at 10:00 am. The naturalist will meet hikers, outline the plans for the hike and then lead the group on the trail.

Hikes will be cancelled in severe weather – call the Nature Center at (816) 513-8960 for confirmation. Please prepare and dress appropriately for the weather of the day (i.e. rain gear, layers of clothing for cold weather, sunscreen and hats for warm weather, drinking water, insect repellent, closed-toed shoes or boots).

These hikes are not appropriate for children in strollers as there are rocks and logs to step over and hills and valleys to traverse. Children may hike or be carried.
