Family Nature Walk is a guided outdoor exploration through the forests of Moorefields and the neighboring Seven Mile Creek Nature Area in Hillsborough. Led by naturalists from the Piedmont Wildlife Center, this morning walk helps children identify local plants, spot native wildlife, and learn about the ecosystems in our own backyards. This event is best suited for toddlers through elementary-aged children who can handle a gentle trail walk. While admission is free for kids twelve and under, adults need to register and pay five dollars. Wear closed-toe shoes, pack your favorite bug spray, and bring a water bottle for the trail. Parking is available on-site at the historic Moorefields property. It is a smart pick for your weekend because it offers structured outdoor time without a massive time commitment. You will be back in the car by lunchtime, and the kids will have burned off their morning energy in the fresh air.
