The Prickly Pear Trail is a fantastic one-mile loop in Newbury Park and perfect for families with little ones. It is stroller-friendly and there is a lot to see on this short hike which is what inspired the Prickly Pear Nature Journal.  Inside this guide are lists of plants and animals to keep a look out for on this trail.  There are also activities to do while hiking on the trail.

The purpose of this journal is to introduce elementary-aged kids to the art of nature journaling as well as provide information about the trail itself.  To download this free journal, simply click on the link below.  (Quick tip: When printing, make sure your printer settings are on “2-sided” and the layout is on “short-edged binding”).

Enjoy!
