Ready for an easy‑going outdoor adventure the whole family will love? Join Sierra Club Iowa Chapter for a fun‑filled afternoon of nature activities!

What’s Happening
Learn‑to‑Fish Station - Bring your own rod and we’ll supply the bait. We have a hunch that bass and bluegill will be biting!
Pond Life Discovery - Scoop critters with dip‑nets, then zoom in on them under a field microscope to identify macroinvertebrates and see who really lives beneath the surface.
Pick‑Your‑Own Flower Farm - Wander colorful rows, snap photos, or purchase a bouquet to take home. Rumor has it an ice‑cream social may pop up as well—but stay tuned!
50‑Acre Woodland Hike - Stretch your legs on gentle forest trails just steps from the pond.

Please RSVP to let us know you're coming.  We only have room for 25 people.

Things to note:
- Anyone over 16 who plans to fish, needs to have a fishing license. Children under 16 are exempt and do not need a fishing license.
- Restroom facilities available
- The pond is teeming with fish so catching fish is guaranteed. However, the largemouth bass are catch and release. You can keep some of the bluegill.
- Pack water, sun protection, and a picnic if you'd like.

Come fish, explore, and smell the flowers, all in one laid‑back day outdoors. We can’t wait to see you at Walnut Trail Farm!

Bring: Bring your own fishing pole, snacks and drinks. Bait will be provided. Kids under 16 do not need a fishing license.
