Why do leaves change color? Wildlings will meet to see the colors we can see, and take in the special scents of the living urban forest ecosystem. During this walk, we will discuss the dormancy process of plants, and spark ideas for painting our landscapes with diverse, colorful native deciduous trees. Following this event, we will visit the Huntington Rose Garden to see what we can do to help "put our gardens to bed" after the leaves fall, and learn about our two native rose varieties we can consider planting in our gardens. 

All Wilding Romps are all-weather events. Please come prepared for rain/cool weather with appropriate shoes, rain jackets, and towels and/or blanket following the hike in case of inclement weather.
