Hiking is a fun way to see nature. Follow these simple steps to stay safe and spot wildlife.

Step 1: Get Ready Put on sturdy shoes for walking. Pack a water bottle and a small snack. Always go with a grown-up.

Step 2: Stay on the Path Walk on the marked trail at all times. Do not step into tall grass or bushes. This keeps your feet safe and protects small plants.

Step 3: Spot Native Plants Look up at the tall oak and maple trees. In the spring, look for pretty red wildflowers on the ground. Do not pick the flowers so they can keep growing.

Step 4: Watch for Animals Walk quietly so you do not scare the animals. Look for gray squirrels and wild turkeys. You might even see a white-tailed deer! Watch them from a safe distance and never feed them.

Step 5: Keep the Park Clean Put all your trash in a bin. Leave rocks, leaves, and sticks where you find them. Enjoy your big day outdoors!
