Are you a lover of trees, hiking, and all things nature? Then this presentation is for you!

Hikers and tree enthusiasts alike will enjoy Kevin’s presentation as he details local hikes that are designed to highlight Big Trees in the area. He will enlighten us about how trees provide for wildlife and the environment and will also discuss interesting facts from the history of the land that the trees are on.
