Join Harris Center naturalist Susie Spikol to explore, wander, and discover the magic of nearby nature. These pint-sized adventures are perfect for little legs and for babies in front packs, backpacks, slings, or wraps — and a great way to meet other families with little ones who love spending time outside.

Explore the looping trails at McCabe Forest, where the Contoocook River winds quietly along the eastern edge of the property. Paths through the floodplain forest reveal graceful silver maples overhead and lush ostrich ferns below, shaped by seasonal spring floods. Gentle terrain and shady stands of hemlock make this a pleasant walk on warm days, while the mix of habitats offers great opportunities for wildlife watching.

10 to 11 a.m. at McCabe Forest in Antrim. Space is limited, and registration is full. Directions to the exact meeting location will be provided prior to the event. For general information about Harris Center field trips, see our Outings Information page. For more information about this particular outing, including questions about accessibility, contact Susie.
