Visiting this summer

Seasonal nature notes and what to look for now

  • 🌞Midsummer — early morning visits most comfortable; look for deer fawns in quieter clearings
  • 🐄Summer visits here combine well with a walk along nearby trails — the animals are most active in the morning.
  • 🐾Animal sanctuary on site — a good way to combine wildlife and an animal visit in the same trip
