HUNTINGTON — The Huntington Museum of Art will offer free guided nature trail tours on Tuesday mornings from June 9 through August 11. Registration is required for the Tuesdays on the Trail program.

The tours, which will cover about one mile, will be led by HMA volunteer nature docents. Each tour will start at 9:30 a.m. and end at 11 a.m.

Group size for each tour must be 15 or smaller, and two groups can come each Tuesday. Tours are free, but you must sign up in advance in order to reserve your group's spot with a docent.

HMA's trail is located on the museum's hillside, in 40 acres of land which is retained in its natural woodland state. It is a wide, well-marked, maintained trail, with inclines varying from nearly flat through gently sloping to steeply sloped.

For more information or to reserve a tour, contact Carol Bailey at (304) 529-2701, Ext. 25, or send an e-mail to cbailey@hmoa.org.
