SUMMARY:Senior Saunter at Harvest Square Nature Preserve
DESCRIPTION:From the Saunter leader\, Lynne Weninegar:   \n\nSenior Saunter is designed for Land Trust members aged 60 and older (or anyone who feels young at heart and enjoys a slower pace). These gatherings are an opportunity to connect with nature and one another without the pressure of keeping up with a group hike or reaching a destination.  Some participants enjoy taking a leisurely stroll\, while others prefer birdwatching\, fishing\, reading\, journaling\, photography\, or simply sitting and enjoying the scenery. Senior Saunter is about spending time outdoors\, making new friends\, and experiencing our preserves in a relaxed and welcoming environment. \nFirst-time guests are welcome to join us. We invite returning participants to become Land Trust members and support the conservation of North Alabama’s special places. Please come prepared for the weather and nature’s little distractions. Water\, sunscreen\, insect repellent\, and comfortable shoes are always recommended. We look forward to spending time with you on the preserves! \n\nJoin Lynne Weninegar for an early morning saunter along the boardwalks at Harvest Square Nature Preserve. View two naturally stocked man-made ponds\, bring a fishing pole (if you have your fishing license) for a little “catch and release” time\, or just hang out around the pavilion and watch birds and butterflies! Stroll the boardwalks\, watch birds and butterflies\, spend time by the ponds\, try a little catch-and-release fishing (with a valid fishing license)\, or simply relax with a book or journal beneath the pavilion. Participants are welcome to explore at their own pace and choose the activities that interest them most.  Though located in a busy area\, Harvest Square offers a peaceful escape and a chance to slow down\, connect with nature\, and enjoy good company. \nSign up \nIn the event this hike has to be canceled due to weather or trail conditions\, we will send a notification to the email address you use to register. \nLocation: Harvest Square Nature Preserve\, 111 Allyson Sadie Blvd\, Harvest\, AL 35749

SUMMARY:Nature Play Camp 2026
DESCRIPTION:SOLD OUT: June 8-12 for ages 6-8 | June 15-19 for ages 8-11 \nLet’s go where curiosity leads! Land Trust of North Alabama‘s Nature Play Camp seeks to hone children’s innate curiosity in nature and allow them the freedom to explore. Topics for this week-long day camp at Monte Sano Nature Preserve will include water critters\, fossils\, being nature detectives\, map reading\, animal adaptations\, tracks\, scat\, the magic of trees\, and more! Along with our exploration\, we’ll include puzzles\, crafts\, games\, and lots of splashing in Fagan Creek. \n  \nCamp Details\nCamp Dates and Times: \n**Please note\, hours have changed for 2026.** \n\nJune 9-13 for ages 6-8. Drop off is at 9:00AM\, and pick up is at 3:00PM\nJune 16-20 for ages 8-11. Drop off is at 9:00AM\, and pick up is at 3:00PM\n\nCost: $300 for members\, $375 for non-members \nLocation: Monte Sano Nature Preserve \n\nWeek #1 (Ages 6-8) – Drop-off & Pick-up at Monte Sano Nature Preserve (Bankhead Trailhead) – 2442 Bankhead Pkwy NE\, Huntsville\, AL 35801\nWeek #2 (Ages 8-11) – Drop-off at Monte Sano Nature Preserve (Bankhead Trailhead) – 2442 Bankhead Pkwy NE\, Huntsville\, AL 35801 / Pick-up at Monte Sano Nature Preserve (Cleermont Trailhead) – 506 Cleermont Dr SE\, Huntsville\, AL 35801\n\nAge Groups: Parents of 8-year-olds can choose which group is best for their child\, but a child can only attend one week of camp. Activities will be adapted appropriately for each age group. The second week will include hiking longer distances. \nThe Daily Routine: As we said above\, Land Trust of North Alabama’s Nature Play Camp is designed to allow our campers the opportunity and freedom to spend time exploring nature\, playing with others\, and just being a kid in the woods. There is a structure – group hikes\, lunch\, quiet time\, and a few group activities – but much of the time will be spent with a variety of options. Last year’s campers spent the week building forts\, exploring the creek\, collecting nature treasures for the display table\, and reading or drawing quietly in the shade. Our staff of four adults and two teen volunteers will lead and supervise some activities\, of course\, but a good part of the day will involve choice. It’s a week of being a kid! \nA Few Other Details: \n\nMembers at the Trailblazer (Family) Level and above receive a $75 discount. Check your email for the code. Not a member? Join today!\nThe registration deadline is June 1\, though late registrations may be allowed with prior notice.\nEach camp will host a maximum of 20 campers.\nWe hope to have a limited number of scholarships available. Please contact Angie McCollum for more information.\nQuestions? Contact Angie McCollum\, Education Coordinator\, at angie@landtrustnal.org\n\nThis event is sponsored by Vulcan Materials Company.

We’ll take a nice slow pace and see what the creekside has to offer. \nMeeting Location: We’re meeting at the trailhead at Heritage Elementary School\, 11775 County Line Rd\, Madison\, AL 35758. The trailhead is on the east side of the school\, away from the main parking lot. \nIn the event this hike has to be canceled due to weather or trail conditions\, we will send a notification to the email address you use to register. \nSign up

SUMMARY:Foraging Hike at Chapman Mountain
DESCRIPTION:(Easy / Around 2 hours\, but maybe longer / 2 miles or so) Join us for a foraging hike at Chapman Mountain Nature Preserve to find out about the special plants and mushrooms you might find foraging in the summer. Forager Casey Lanier will lead you through the preserve on a route that will be determined by him. \nA FEW NOTES: This hike is educational\, so if you’re looking for a walk with no long stops to talk\, it’s probably not what you’re looking for. The hike is scheduled to last 2 hours\, but it may run long. This hike around the preserve is not intended for collection or consumption of species\, but for learning about all the incredible plants and fungi we have here in North Alabama! \nHike Leader: Casey Lanier \nLocation: The Chapman Mountain Nature Preserve\, 1263 U.S Hwy 72 East\, Huntsville\, AL 35811  \n(Directions: Coming from Huntsville\, cross Chapman Mountain on Hwy 72 and U-turn at Moores Mill Road. When safe\, get into the merge lane on the right (plenty of time). When the silver guard rail ends\, be ready to turn right onto the paved entrance. Drive through the gate and down the gravel road to the parking area at the bottom of the hill.) \nSign up \nIn the event this hike has to be canceled due to weather or trail conditions\, we will send a notification to the email address you use to register.
