The Arlington Outdoor Education Association will hold an open house at the Arlington Outdoor Lab on Sunday, Sept. 29 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
At the family-friendly event, participants can paddle boats, fish in the pond, hike trails, observe creatures in the nature center and enjoy a picnic.
“Grab your ‘squad’ and explore our 226 acres of mountain trails, meadows, streams and pond,” organizers said.
Located in Fauquier County, the Arlington Outdoor Lab since the 1960s has been a joint effort of the non-profit organization and Arlington Public Schools, bringing students in an increasingly urban community to a more rural environment.
There is no charge to attend, but pre-registration is required. No dogs are allowed, and the event may be weather-dependent.
