Celebrate Arbor Day with a Guided Hike at Holts Landing State Park

Celebrate Arbor Day with a Guided Hike at Holts Landing State Park

Friday, April 29 at 4 p.m.

            The staff of Delaware Seashore State Park will be celebrating this Arbor Day with a hike that is off the beaten path.  This guided hike will take place along the Sea Hawk Trail at Holts Landing State Park.  A park naturalist will guide participants through four different ecosystems including a beach, meadow, salt marsh and hardwood forest, identifying various tree species and revealing a bit of “tree trivia” along the way.  Visitors will also learn about the history of this park, and find out about the Indian River Bay and the Assawoman Canal.

Participants should meet at the main parking lot at Holts Landing State Park on Friday, April 29 to begin the hike at 4 p.m.  It is a good idea to wear sturdy shoes or boots as the trail can be wet in places.  The fee for this program is $5 per person and pre-registration is required.  More information or to pre-register, please call the Indian River Life-Saving Station Museum at 302-227-6991 or visit destateparks.com.
