Discovering Wildlife Through Trail Cameras
10:00 AM to 12:00 PM Discovering Wildlife Through Trail Cameras12/01/2025 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM
Trail cameras capture what your eyes may never see! With trail cameras we can observe the local ecosystem and learn all about the natural world right in our own community. We’ll be learning how to set up trail cameras and how to adjust features, hiking to set them up around Baltimore Woods, and taking a look at captured footage from other Baltimore Woods trail cameras. Join us at Baltimore Woods to capture the mysteries of nature with trail cameras. More details: This program is designed for adults. Space is limited. Online pre-registration is required. The first part of this program will take place inside the John A. Weeks Interpretive Center. We will then hike along trails to set up our cameras. Some of these moderate trails have packed crushed stone. The other most difficult trails have natural surfaces like dirt, mud, and grass, with narrow stretches, roots, steps, and rocks.
