UPB to Offer Children's Nature Hikes
The University of Pittsburgh at Bradford will hold nature hikes through Timberdoodle Flats in the Allegheny National Forest for children.
The course, “Timberdoodle Trek,” will teach children ages 8 to 12 about the ecosystems found in the Allegheny National Forest from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on June 24, July 8, 15, or 22. The class will meet at the Timberdoodle Flats trailhead parking lot on State Route 59, just east of the intersection with State Route 321 North in Marshburg.
Students will participate in a mild 1.5-mile hike as they discover a wetland, an Allegheny hardwood forest, hemlock bottoms, and wildlife openings. Students are asked to wear boots and long pants and to pack water, lunch, a snack and sunscreen.
Children must register with an adult. Cost for the course is $20 per participant.
