The public is invited to participate in NatureFest Week starting September 15, but there will be a proclamation declaring it such on Friday, September 13.

There will be a week full of activities, including trail walking on Monday, garden tours of a variety of gardens Tuesday, while Wednesday and Thursday are for the bird lovers and those wanting to learn more about them and Friday is for learning all about Jeffer’s Bend and its programs.
