Nature walk this Sunday

[redknot.livejournal.com]

I'm a local field naturalist, and I'm running a short nature hike on Sunday, Sept 15 from 1-2:30 pm. The theme is Bike Path Botany! Have you ever wondered what's growing in your neighborhood? We'll wander the bike path and hear some interesting and peculiar facts about local plants. Beginners & non-botanists are welcome - you won't have any trouble keeping up. Meet in Davis Square at the Holland St. T entrance.

How neat! Is this a kid-friendly activity?

I think it'll depend on the kid! None of the material is inappropriate for kiddos, but my walks tend to be geared towards an adult's attention span and interests. If you've got a particularly nature-keen kid who likes hearing facts, I think it'd be fine :)

This sounds like fun! Thanks for announcing it here.

One of my kids is the same age as surrealestate's and I'd guess that they might have more fun poking sticks at the dirt and picking up rocks than actually learning biology, but if the talk leader doesn't mind that, it sounds like fun to me. :)

I don't mind at all, so long as they don't mind sitting through my anecdotes! ;)
