Who are these critters who will be delivering the informative messages? They include: barred owl, deer, spider, bat, blue jays, skunk, raccoon, eagle, squirrel, and more. Costumed Northwest Arkansas Master Naturalists will be delivering the meaningful messages.
Join in this fun, non-scary, fall treat for the whole family. Strollers and wagons are welcome as you meander along a wide, paved, barrier-free path.
