SUMMARY:Discovery Hike with iNaturalist (NC Science Festival) at Haw River State Park
DESCRIPTION:The 2025 NCSciFest theme is “Science: Everyday\, Everywhere\, Everyone” and we’re excited to celebrate all the important ways science is woven into the fabric of our everyday lives! For environmental educators and natural resource managers\, this can mean leaning into modern technology to learn the native landscape\, make new species discoveries\, identify invasive plants\, and contribute to global community science efforts. \nOn this guided hike through several Haw River habitats\, learn how to use the iNaturalist app to discover and identify plants\, animals\, and more along the trails. This interactive hike is perfect for nature enthusiasts of all ages. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to connect with nature and expand your knowledge of the local ecosystem as we celebrate science in the outdoors. \nMeet in the courtyard outside of the Main Lodge (building closest to flag pole) for this easy hike less than 2 hours / 1.5 miles in length with minor elevation gains as we walk to & from the wetlands. Final route will be determined closer to date. Please bring comfortable walking shoes for a natural-surface travel (packed dirt or gravel) and water/snacks as needed. If you need to download the iNaturalist or SEEK app on your smartphone\, there is free wifi in the reception area next to the meeting place. Contact the park with any questions. Hope to see you there!
