Feeling sluggish? So are we! Come on out on a slug filled adventure (We hope! The cold temperatures may hamper our discoveries a bit!) where we'll use our eagle eyes to search for these slimy and fascinating creatures, and learn all about them as we hike through Sykes Park! Download the iNaturalist app beforehand, and we’ll use that to identify what we find and contribute data to the Atlanta SLIME (Snails and slugs Living In Metropolitan Environments) project!
Please note that parking is limited. Carpool if you can!

COVID Considerations
This event is outdoors. Masks are not required per CDC guidelines if you are able to maintain social distance of at least 6 feet from others not in your party. However, masks are strongly recommended when participating in sustained interaction near others (e.g., guided hikes, hands-on station activities, etc).
