As the chill air stirs and the trees lose their leaves, fairies and gnomes make their journey south and begin preparations to build their whimsical winter homes across the CNC’s property. Bundle up and head out to the trails with us this winter. Stay connected with the outdoors and slow down as you search for magical houses made from tiny natural objects.
