Upcoming Events

Well-mannered dogs are welcome to bring their human companions for a gentle walk along the Trout Lake Nature Center's trails. On the last Sunday of each month dogs can gather for these walks. Humans are responsible for the behavior of their dogs and picking up after any doggie deposits. Pack walks give your dog a chance to socialize, sniff the many smells along our trails and get a little exercise. You have the chance to make new friends and meet old friends. There is no cost or registration for this walk but a $5/vehicle does apply to all non-TLNC members.

This special holiday program is designed for 2 to 5-year-olds to have a positive experience with nature and the outdoors.

Children will be painting plaster animals that they can use for holiday decorations or gifts.

Nature Sprouts is held monthly on the fourth Wednesday. Adults are required to register their child on the TLNC website calendar online. The program is limited to 15 children with their adult(s). Cost is $5/family. Free to TLNC members.

Santa Paws is a holiday children’s event where a Holiday story is read and costumed dogs are present for your child to pet and interact with. The PAWS Therapy dogs come dressed for the holidays and ready for pictures to be taken with your child. Holiday snacks are available as long as they last.

Bring your child to get an adorable holiday photo, to work some of their holiday energy off and just have some fun.
