"Talk to the Animals" this Month at Chimney Rock State Park

June 1 - 30, 2016    Family Animal Encounters   Meet some of Grady the Groundhog’s woodland friends or possibly the birds of prey, a Red-tailed hawk and Great Horned Owl. 


A Park naturalist will explain each animal’s role in our ecosystem, how they came to live at the park and lessons on what we can do to help protect wildlife.
