Noticing Nature Head out on the trails to see how Fall is settling into the landscape. How does the transition to fall impact the natural world around us? How do we humans change as the days grow shorter and cooler? Create a field nature-journal filled with fall wonders that you will take home and use all season.

Matthaei Botanical Gardens is hosting free guided nature walks on select Wednesdays and Sundays.  These walks are FREE, no registration is required. Wonder Walks are designed for all ages to inspire curiosity and learning from each other through activities that model curiosity and honor nature. If we have a sizeable mixed-age group, we may separate into two sets to offer the same content at different levels of engagement.

Wednesday walks begin at 5:30 pm.  Sunday walks begin at 1:00 pm. We recommend gathering inside the lobby of Matthaei Botanical Gardens about 10 minutes before the start.
