Become a Fall Tree Detective on The ANT! Fall is the perfect time to slow down, look up, and explore the amazing trees along The ANT! Grab the family, lace up your hiking boots, bring your curiosity, and get ready for a leafy adventure.

Can you become a Tree Detective and identify trees and leaves in the forest?

Leaf or needle?
Deciduous or conifer?
What colors can you find?
Can you spot a nut, seed, or other tree treasure?
Can you match a leaf to the tree it came from?

As you hike, keep your eyes open for different shapes, colors, textures, and patterns. Look high into the branches, peek along the trail, and don’t forget to check the ground for clues!

Make it a family challenge! Who can find the biggest leaf? The most colorful leaf? A tree with needles? A tree with changing leaves? See how many different trees you can discover together!

No two hikes are exactly alike, especially in the fall! Come explore The ANT, get curious about the trees around you, and see what nature detective discoveries are waiting just around the corner.
