... A natural discovery series designed to provide an up-close and personal look at Runnymede Park

A trained naturalist will begin each Ramble with a brief introduction to a specific aspect of the park and will provide participants with a list of suggestions about what to look at, listen for, and do as they take a selfguided walk through the park. There will be time at the end of each Ramble for participants to share their discoveries and experiences. Each program will last approximately 11⁄2 hours.

RAMBLES IN RUNNYMEDE programs are free and open to adults and children age 8 and up. These events are not appropriate for younger children.

Our First Ramble

Sunday, November 13, at 2:00 p.m.

How Life in the Park Adapts to Survive in the Cold 

• Did you know that chickadees can lower their metabolism in the extreme cold?
• Did you know that pine needles have their own built-in antifreeze? 
• Do you know where turtles go in the winter?

Peter Munroe, a well-known local naturalist with more than 30 years of experience sharing his love of the natural world, will explore these and other fascinating facts. Dress for the weather and bring a camera if you like. Meet at the picnic shelter near the park entrance on Herndon Parkway (there will be signs to guide you).
