Get Out! Nature Walk: Woods in Autumn
Explore the beautiful woods of Rines Forest in autumn! We will be looking for signs of the changing seasons and evidence of how nature adapts. The trail will be uneven and steep in a few sections, so appropriate footwear and poles (if you need extra support) are recommended.
