Nature Hour: Let's Get Outside

The Lancaster Conservancy protects nearly 50 nature preserves which include more than 40 miles of trails. There are so many choices to get outside – where do you start? You can start with this presentation, which will highlight the land the Lancaster Conservancy protects and will include information about where to go to find the kind of outdoor experience you are looking for, what you can expect to see, and the basics of what to bring.

Recommended for ages 8+. Thank you for registering HERE.
