Kids

Enjoy the view from Moon Hill as you learn about the moon cycle and its importance to people over the centuries.  The easy walk will be enjoyed by beginners and experienced hikers alike.  Children must be accompanied by an adult.  Wear sturdy closed toe shoes and insect repellent.  Bring water, flashlights and if you have them, binoculars.  Inclement weather cancels the program. Appropriate for ages 5 and up.  Meet at the Parking Lot Bulletin Board, 40 Asbury Street.

Join birding expert and former Crane Beach Ranger, Dave Williams, on a walk through the woodlands and fields of the Crane Estate to talk about birds. If you have never been birding before, Dave will teach you how to use binoculars to watch birds and pick out characteristics that will help you identify what species you see. If you’re a seasoned pro, bring your bird list and keep an eye out for spring migrants! If you’re not into birds (yet), come for a pleasant morning stroll. There’s something for everyone on this walk!
