Thanks for joining us last night for our Voices of the Stars event! ✨💫
The clouds had moved in right before but they moved on quickly (after a 10 minute rain break 😅). Everyone was a trooper through the night! We were able to observe Scorpius and the Big Dipper with our eye and see M13 through the telescope 🔭

Stay posted for more upcoming events at Fort Boggy State Park! 🌳

What do we have here? 🔍

Poison ivy and Virginia creeper often grow together! This is a classic example of how easily it can be overlooked.
• Poison ivy will have three leaflets versus five.
• Virginia creeper will have small greenish flowers and blue berries in spring instead of the small white flowers of Poison ivy.
• The vines of Poison ivy are often fuzzy or hairy while Virginia creeper vines are smoother and use adhesive discs to stay attached!

Remember: “Leaves of three, let it be.”
Avoid coming into contact with unknown vines and stay on trail!

Wonder how the Tunnel Trail got its name?
While we may not have an actual tunnel running through - our foliage creates a "tunnel" amongst the trees!

☀️Need an idea for a family friendly activity this summer? ☀️
Try the Junior Ranger Program!
At each park, you can borrow one of the Explorer Packs and learn as you go! This is a great way to get your family involved in learning what nature has to offer. For youth and the young at heart!
