Join the president of the Webster Groves Nature Study Society and Kirkwood resident for a walk through Emmenegger Nature Park to enjoy the brisk fall air and learn about why trees change colors. Expect to see oaks, maples, hickories, and a variety of other plants displaying their fall colors for all to enjoy. You'll learn why plants change color in the fall and about the chemical reactions involved to create these colors. Wear hiking shoes and weather-appropriate gear, bring a camera and notepad, if desired. Held rain or shine. Free and open to all. Meet at the trailhead kiosk by the creek.
