Girl Scouts Love State Parks is an annual event that occurs all over the United States and is aimed at getting Girl Scouts into the outdoors on the same weekend. This year, Ranger Stephanie will be guiding a group nature hike at Seven Islands State Birding Park. Girl Scouts and their families will be able to learn fun facts about the birds, wildlife, plants, and trees found at Seven Islands and even learn how to identify birds by their songs. If you have ever wanted to ask a park ranger anything about nature or being a park ranger then this would be a great opportunity. The hike will be approximately 3.0 miles round-trip and cover the Bobwhite ADA Trail, Island Loop Trail, Seven Islands Loop Trail, and a section of Kelly Lane Greenway. The terrain will be paved for the section along the Bobwhite ADA Trail, but the rest of the trails are grass or dirt. This will be an easy-moderate difficulty hike.
Registration is $6 per person. Participants should plan on meeting Ranger Stephanie at the Bluebird Barn at the main entrance off of Kelly Lane at 9:00AM. Please bring plenty of bottled water with you for the hike since the temperatures can get hot quickly these days. Please wear appropriate footwear for walking/hiking. If participants have their own binoculars they are encouraged to bring them, but some will be available to borrow if needed. If you have any questions regarding this program, please contact Ranger Stephanie at stephanie.mueller@tn.gov or 865-333-8270.
