Note: Participants may register and attend only one of Runge's monthly Wednesday or Saturday all-day hiking programs. Join us for a guided trail hike along the Earthworks, Memorial, and Oumessourit Wetland Boardwalk trails at Van Meter State Park (Saline County); 2 miles, moderate. These trails feature early Native American sites and native Paw Paw trees with (hopefully) ripe fruit at this time of year. Meet at Runge Nature Center in Jefferson City or the trailhead. Some transportation is provided, but carpooling may be necessary. Hike leaders will contact participants via email before the hike to give directions and other information. Wear sturdy shoes, dress for the weather, bring a water bottle, and pack a lunch/snack. Note: Registration closes on September 16 at 8 a.m. ? Becky Matney
