Ongoing Programs
Gardening for Nature
Gardening for Nature presentations are free and offered in partnership with the Central Rappahannock Regional Library. The topics are related to the season and cover a wide range of subjects, such as soil science, garden design, seed starting, gardening for wildlife, composting, and more!
​
The presentations take place on the first Tuesday of the month at 10:00 am at CRRL's Fredericksburg Branch located at 1201 Caroline Street. There is ample parking in the rear of the building.
No signup is required.

Nature Walks
At our Belman Road Campus, we offer morning and twilight nature walks led by our knowledgeable staff members Em Ford and Janet Douberly. These in-person events are the perfect opportunity to unwind, connect with nature, and maybe even spot some local wildlife. Whether you're a seasoned hiker or just looking for a leisurely stroll, these walks are sure to be a delightful experience. Check our Calendar of Events to see when the next nature walk will be!
Don't forget to dress for the weather and bring your camera to capture the scenic views!
The walks will be about 1.5 miles total and will be held at a meander with lots of stopping and looking!
Mud is always a possibility so wear your off-roading shoes!
​
Please note: there are no restroom facilities at our Belman Road Campus.Â
