April is a month of long-awaited transformation and growth in nature. The Sheldrake nature conservancy bustles in spring, with longer and warmer days, the sounds of birds and frogs, the budding of trees, and the blooming of flowers. Sights, sounds, and smells abound! Join us for a discovery walk around our woodland trails, peer out on the pond, and feel connected to the buzzing natural world around us. All in our backyard forest.
