Spider Safari

Spiders are some of the most fascinating—and often misunderstood—animals found in our forests. Join the park naturalist for a guided hike as we search for the spiders that call Jenny Wiley home! Along the trail, we'll look for webs, learn how to identify different spider species, and discover the unique adaptations that make these incredible arachnids such important members of our ecosystem. From orb weavers to jumping spiders, you'll gain a new appreciation for the role spiders play in controlling insect populations and maintaining healthy habitats. This program is open to all ages and experience levels. Whether you're a spider enthusiast or just curious to learn more about these amazing creatures, everyone is welcome to join the adventure! Be sure to dress for the weather, wear comfortable closed-toe shoes suitable for hiking, and bring water. Come explore the often-overlooked world of spiders and see the forest from a whole new perspective!
