Events are coming this weekend to the Macon County Conservation District’s great parks, that look to get the family out in unfamiliar nature settings. This Saturday, October 21st, a Snake and Turtle Show will make its way to the Rock Springs Nature Center in Decatur at 2:00 p.m. The Creatures of the Night Hike will get started the following night, Sunday, October 22nd, from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at Friends Creek Conservation Area in Argenta.
Alysia Callison is the Program Director for the Macon County Conservation District and is excited to offer these family-friendly events. She says that the reptiles on display will be there for education and for the kiddos to feel the skin and shell.
Sunday evening events will take attendees through the Friends Creek Conservation Area to witness wildlife at night and pay a visit to the nocturnal friends. Callison reminds attendees to bring proper footwear and urges against recreational light usage, as all the human senses look to be put to the test.
Registration for the Snake and Turtle Show and the Creatures of the Night Hike is required and can be found at maconcountyconservation.org.
Rock Springs Nature Center is located at 3939 Nearing Lane in Decatur. Friends Creek Conservation Area is located at 13734 Friends Creek Park Road in Argenta.
