Join an MDC naturalist on a hike on Powder Valley’s Broken Ridge Trail. On this hike we will be looking for native flowering trees like dogwoods and red buds. Broken Ridge Trail is a 2/3 mile paved trail.
Please dress for the weather and bring water for the hike.
Natural light is important to help balance and guide our natural world, especially at night. In urban areas such as St. Louis, you may not even be able to see the stars due to mass amounts of light, otherwise known as light pollution, being shown in the area. Hear about light pollution, how it effects our wildlife, and learn ways to help lend a hand to those who need the night sky. We will make a moving and impactful postcard craft that will be put on display for visitors to look at, and then we will mail you your postcards after they’re taken down so you can remember the program.
Meet an MDC naturalist in Powder Valley Conservation Nature Center classrooms C and D.
