About this program
Have you ever wondered how the forest, the farm, our homes shape us? Join a Ranger on a guided walk discussing the ecology in and around the historic farm at Humpback Rocks. Come and see how folks lived over a hundred years ago in the beautiful Blue Ridge and how they affect us today. It’s a journey through time and a journey through nature.
The program will start from the Humpback Rocks Visitor Center, go through the farm, and return. The tour will be up to half an hour long, covering about half of a mile in distance.
Subject to cancelation due to inclement weather.
