On Thursday, May 5, adults ages 18 and older can participate in a guided tour of Trailside Nature and Science Center from 7:15 to 8:30 p.m. The fee for this tour is $8 for Union County residents and $10 for out-of-county participants. Pre-registration is required.
Trailside has evolved from an old equipment garage into the modern facility that exits today. Visitors will join a Park naturalist to see the environment of the Watchung Reservation interpreted through innovative and educational displays. Highlights of the tour are the 35-foot Beech Tree Exhibit which fills the spacious atrium; the Native American walk-in wigwam; and the Night Theater, an audio-visual presentation of the sights and sounds of nocturnal forest animals.
To register call 908-789-3670 or visit www.ucnj.org/trailside.
