Follow today’s On Your Own Challenge along the water’s edge to discover an amazing variety of plant and animal life. Kids and their families will have fun roaming riparian habitats and then exploring hands-on Discovery Stations and the Hike of the Day during the afternoon.

The E-C-O stands for Every Child Outside, and that’s exactly where kids can be found during ECO Kids Discovery Days!

• HANDS–ON DISCOVERY STATIONS, led by Volunteer Naturalists, at the Visitor Center from 1-4 P.M.
• ON YOUR OWN CHALLENGE, a self-guided adventure, available at the Visitor Center from 9 A.M.-5 P.M.
• HIKE OF THE DAY, led by a Bernheim guide, starts at the Visitor Center at 2 P.M. and runs 45-60 minutes.
