Just in time for Halloween, arachnid enthusiasts Debbi Brusco and Jack Owicki will focus on spiders on this 3 hour, three-mile hike. Explore the many ways spiders hunt and make homes at Edgewood Park. We’ll discover funnels, turrets, orbs, bowl and doilies, and maybe even trash lines!
We welcome seniors and families. We’ll teach children and adults to identify poison oak, common along the trails.
Visitors can complement their docent-led walk by visiting the new Education Center located near the main entrance. Interactive exhibits explain Edgewood’s connection to the surrounding landscape and its history.
Where to meet
Walks start from the Bill and Jean Lane Education Center.
What to bring
Bring water, a hat, sturdy shoes, sunscreen, and a snack if you wish. We don’t stop for lunch, but picnic tables are usually available after the walks in the Old Stage Day Camp area.
Restrooms
Restrooms and water are available only at the main entrance.
Reservations
No reservations are needed unless you have a group of 10 or more. For group reservations, please email events@friendsofedgewood.org.
More Third Saturday Hikes
Friends of Edgewood’s trained docents guide free nature hikes at 10am on the third Saturday morning of each month. The 3 – 4 mile walks vary according to the docent and the current happenings in the Preserve.
