Afternoon Explorers: Winter Edition
Join us and one of our experienced educators on guided activities at our Nature Sanctuary for kids age 2nd-5th. See wildlife, engage in hands-on activities and explore everything that the forest has to offer. If you like walking through the woods and getting your hands dirty, we hope to see you there! These in-person classes are a series building upon one another, when you sign-up, you are enrolled in both sessions.
December 3: Mammals in the Winter What makes some animals better at surviving and preparing for cold, winter weather? From fur to skulls and feet, we’ll discover the many adaptations and characteristics that make mammals so amazing! We’ll search for a variety of signs along the trails that show how they are preparing for winter, discuss their survival strategies, and use our unique collection of mammal pelts and artifacts for hands-on learning that promotes interpretation and deeper exploration.
December 10: Tracks and Traces What makes some animals better at surviving and preparing for cold, winter weather? From fur to skulls and feet, we’ll discover the many adaptations and characteristics that make mammals so amazing! We’ll search for a variety of signs along the trails that show how they are preparing for winter, discuss their survival strategies, and use our unique collection of mammal pelts and artifacts for hands-on learning that promotes interpretation and deeper exploration.
