Naturalists from Essex County Greenbelt will lead two walks through vernal pools in Crystal Gorge in Haverhill.

The two sessions take place Saturday, April 4, at 10 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. and are designed for children ages 3 to 10 and their families. Hikers will likely find beetles, leeches, larvae, frog and salamander eggs and fairy shrimp. Those interested are asked to meet at the parking lot at the Crystal Gorge Conservation Area, 500 Crystal St., Haverhill.

The free hikes are co-sponsored by Wildflower Montessori School, North Shore Nature Programs and the City of Haverhill. Registration takes place at ECGB.org.
