Upcoming Science ATL Events
Nature Navigators: Constitution Lakes
2024-09-21T14:00:00.000Z
A nature exploration like no other, right inside our city. Constitution lakes is both a haven for wildlife with wetlands and lakes galore, and the site of one of Atlanta's most unique trails: Doll's Head Trail. This Nature Navigators walk will be packed with tons of wildlife and eclectic history!
Nature Navigators 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! Well behaved dogs are welcome so long as they remain leashed in accordance with local regulations.
Tickets will open two weeks prior to event, on September 6th.
