Cuando
6de junio de 2026. 10:00 a.m. - 11:30 a.m.
Celebrate National Trails Day with a guided journey through the hidden world of James River State Park’s grasslands and the beauty of its riverfront. This family-friendly walk leads you through open meadows alive with birds, pollinators, and native wildflowers, then down along the scenic shoreline of the James River. Along the way, our interpreter will point out seasonal plants and wildlife, share fun ecological insights, and highlight how both grasslands and river ecosystems work together to support the park’s natural communities.
As part of our celebration of the trails that connect us to nature, participants will also have the opportunity to take part in a simple stewardship activity by helping pick up litter along the route. Gloves and bags will be provided, and even a small effort makes a big difference in keeping our habitats healthy.
Enjoy fresh air, wide-open views, a peaceful stretch of the riverside, and a chance to give back to the park as you explore two vibrant habitats in one hike!
This hike will be approximately 2 miles long over mostly even terrain.
Please meet at Canoe Landing. All materials provided. Suitable for all ages. Wear appropriate clothing and shoes for the weather and bring a water bottle with you. Parks are for everyone, please let us know if you need special accommodation.
