Join a Petra Cliffs Nature Educator on a tour of Red Rocks Park in South Burlington. From wolf trees to glacial erratics, and from well trod hiking trails to fern-filled cliff sides, Red Rocks Park is a stellar example of the interesting geology and ecology found right here in South Burlington. This program will talk about the natural history of the area as well as how to identify trees.
