Hannibal Parks & Recreation is offering a nature program about autumn. “Fabulous Fall Colors” will be 1 p.m. Nov. 1 at Riverview Park.

Gale Rublee, nature educator, will lead the program. “At this time of year, leaves make excellent teachers. To a child, the color-changing displays of leaves are a kind of wondrous magic, giving you the perfect tool to introduce children to the fantastic world of science and nature. “

Participants should meet at Shelter No. 1 for the program.

Rublee is a certified Interpreter Guide and member of the National Association for Interpretation and Association of Missouri Interpreters.
