Description
Join National Park Service Naturalist Jerry Hightower and the volunteer staff for a campfire, an opportunity to create art from natural objects, a short guided walk, and a beautiful summer evening! We’ll collect downed leaves, twigs, and other items to glue onto paper to make collages, create a painting using natural pigments, and make other works of art using mud from the wetlands. Join us to express your creativity naturally and enjoy the beauty of evening’s onset at the Chattahoochee! You are welcome to come early and bring a picnic dinner. After the program you are invited to join us on a short walk on the Three Forks Loop Trail.
Parking is limited and carpooling is highly encouraged.
Facilities: Located in the Center’s Lodge.
Difficulty: Easy level walking
Bring: Dress for the weather and wear comfortable shoes suitable for walking on a muddy forest trail. Dress in layers so that you can adjust to changes in the temperature and activity level. Bring water and you might include snacks and bug spray. You are also welcome to bring your own marshmallows to roast. We have roasting forks that you may use.
