Visit the front desk for a map.

First, Participants should greet the front desk to receive a trail map and ask to be appointed towards the Discovery Trail, Mansion-Front Flower Garden, Cardinal Pond and Ebony grove- for the best Pollinator watch-spots.

Step two

Before Trailing Off...

Make sure you have what you need to stay properly hydrates along the trail especially during the Summer months. Grab a water form our gift shop, and a hat if you think you'll need one! Thankfully, there are plenty native trees around to keep you shaded.

Step three

Think like a pollinator!

Use the scavenger hunt to get a better idea of what plants pollinators may be attracted to and why.

Step four

Follow a pollinator!

One of the best ways to get to know wildlife better is by spending time with them! Take this opportunity to follow a pollinator around! I wonder what flowers you may notice them fly towards. Is there a pattern with the flowers they choose. Perhaps you will find them pollinating!
