Nature Navigators: East Palisades & the Bamboo Forest
2024-04-20T14:00:00.000Z
Get ready for a fantastic display of invasive species, we're going to the notorious Bamboo Forest in the East Palisades! But don’t worry, while we make our way along the Chattahoochee River and through the forest, there will still be plenty of opportunities to appreciate Georgia's beautiful native ecosystems and the creatures that call it home.
Nature Navigators, sponsored by CleanSpark, leads us on adventures into (& out of) the green spaces found in & around Atlanta, while exposing the countless science experiments that nature is constantly running and how humans observe, influence, and are influenced by the natural world.
Consider these hikes as more of a scientific expedition through our local ecosystems. To that end, our entire journey will be a type of observational study and along the way we'll be making frequent stops to appreciate & ask questions about our surroundings.
Be prepared, it's almost time to slip away into the wild & ask nature why it's so weird! Pack water, snacks or a mobile meal, a smile and whatever else is appropriate for the respective adventure. Children are always welcome as long as they are able! Or you can backpack them!!
