July is World Watercolor Month. Join a ranger behind the visitor center as we explore the textures, colors, and shapes of nature through watercolor. A ranger will guide an optional step-by-step painting activity, or you can create your own masterpiece inspired by the park — from the views of Belmont Bay to native plants and wildlife spotted along the trails. Watercolors will be provided, but guests are welcome to bring their own art materials or preferred medium. All ages and skill levels are welcome. Come unwind, get creative, and enjoy the beauty of nature through art. person in jeans and boots sitting with the forest floor at their feet and a watercolor palette, paintbrush, and picture on their lap painting a scene
