Hiking

Experience the sounds of the night during a moderate hike at the August A. Busch Memorial Conservation Area. We will hike the Busch Hiking/Biking Trail which is approximately 3 ½ miles in length. We may hear coyotes howling, and hear 2 or 3 species of owls calling their mates. Please bring a water bottle and small flashlight.

Nature Art

Did you know that there are about 10,000 different kinds of mushrooms in North America? We will take inspiration from the wide variety of shapes and colors of Missouri mushrooms to create our own needle felted versions! Needle felting is the process of using a special needle and wool to sculpt shapes and figures. While we work on our mushrooms, we will discuss some foraging basics and how to identify a few common mushrooms. No previous experience is required, and all materials will be provided. Please register each participant separately.
