Tyke Hike

Join a youth services librarian from the Delafield Public Library for a nature-focused outing at Cushing Memorial Park. You'll spend about 30 minutes hiking the Ice Age Trail while participating in a BioBlitz activity—a fun way to spot and document the different plants and animals you encounter along the way. This combines outdoor exploration with citizen science, making it engaging for curious young naturalists. To get the most out of the experience, consider downloading the iNaturalist app ahead of time so your child can practice recording observations, though it's completely optional. The library will also have a handy identification guide on hand to help you recognize local wildlife. The trail accommodates strollers, though note that some sections have gravel surfaces. Since weather can affect outdoor activities, keep an eye on the library's Facebook page for any cancellation updates. Registration is encouraged so the library can notify you if plans change.
