AARP IN Nature Walk @ Eagle Marsh

Join AARP Indiana and the Little River Wetlands Project for a guided nature and turtle walk at Eagle Marsh in Fort Wayne on June 18. This relaxed, educational walk is a great opportunity to explore the wetlands, enjoy fresh air, and connect with fellow nature lovers of all experience levels.

Participants will learn about the local environment and wildlife, with a special focus on the many turtle species that call Eagle Marsh home. Along the way, you’ll also have a chance to learn more about what AARP is doing in your local community, including advocacy, livable communities work, and opportunities to get involved. Plus, enjoy giveaways and more during the event.

What to bring (suggested gear list):

*   Long-sleeved shirt

*   Long pants (preferably tucked into socks to help prevent ticks)

*   Sturdy hiking shoes or boots

*   Hat or cap

*   Light jacket or fleece (for cooler evening temperatures)

*   Rain gear (poncho or rain jacket, just in case)

*   Insect repellent (with DEET or picaridin for tick and mosquito protection)

*   Sunscreen

*   Flashlight or headlamp (if the walk extends into dusk)

*   Binoculars (for birdwatching and wildlife spotting)

*   Water bottle

Important parking note:

Please drive down the driveway back to the Eagle Marsh barn, not the pavilion.

We look forward to walking with you and sharing all that Eagle Marsh, and AARP Indiana, have to offer!
