River Bend Nature Center is pleased to offer a series of guided interpretive nature hikes to the community at no charge. These environmental education presentations and hikes are supported by a grant received from SC Johnson. The programs begin in May, and will continue through November. The hikes are held at the nature center, and offer participants an opportunity to learn while enjoying the forests, prairie, ponds and river banks as their outdoor classroom.

The hikes, guided by naturalists, include subjects such as spring flowers, bats and bat monitoring, night sounds in nature, bugs, mushrooms, tree identification, and seasonal nature hikes.  Free of charge.
