The Master Gardeners encourage schoolchildren to learn more about their environment through the Walk in the Woods program. Each fall, Master Gardeners take classes of schoolchildren for a walk along a wooded trail, pointing out the trees and shrubs growing along the way. They also help the children looks for evidence of wildlife living in the woods.
