After winter’s rains and spring’s new growth, tall grasses abound in the open space. Which means it’s time to join Docent Naturalist Ani Agahian to learn about so many people's least favorite arachnid: the humble tick! On this moderately-paced hike along the Canyon and Stevens Creek Nature trails, you’ll safely explore the environments ticks love most and consider how they play an important role in our ecosystem. You may even come away with a new appreciation for this much-loathed creature. Children who are comfortable hiking several miles are welcome.
