Scavenger hunt Oct. 26 at Chapman DeMary Trail

Come to the Chapman DeMary Trail on Sunday, Oct. 26 at 1 p.m. to find fun facts about creepy, crawly creatures. You’ll get a treat for every fact you find. Then discover critters that may be hiding in the fallen leaves and why they need you to leave the leaves.

Members of the Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy and Virginia Master Naturalists will lead this fun walk. This event is jointly hosted by the Purcellville Parks and Recreation Advisory Board and the Purcellville Tree and Environment Sustainability Committee. Register online to attend: www.purcellvilleva.gov/881/Monthly-Nature-Walks. 

The Chapman DeMary Trail is the last stand of old-growth forest in the Town of Purcellville. The area is open to the public for environmental exploration, education, and recreation. The Town of Purcellville holds the conservation easement for this privately-owned property. The entrance and parking for the Chapman DeMary Trail are behind the building at 205 East Hirst Road in Purcellville.
