With a full event calendar, families find joy in digging up worms to feed a Red Slider Turtle named Myrtle, play with live bunnies, climb and spy out the lookout tour and fishing.

Preschoolers can also create a mini garden on April 24 starting at 12:30p.m. for a donation of $5.00.

In honor of Arbor Day, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, April 27, volunteers are encouraged to help plant 50 Sugar Maples and 50 Black Walnut Trees at HCNC.

Trails at HCNC are free and open from dawn to dusk.
