You don't have to leave your neighborhood to explore nature! Join a Refuge Ranger at your local library to investigate what changes are happening as we move into spring. Activities will be both indoor and outside and are geared toward elementary-aged students, but all are welcome! We will finish the program with a take-home project. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
There is no registration. This is a drop-in event. This program will have both indoor and outdoor activities. Activities will be easy-active and self-paced. Clothing and shoes you can comfortably move around in is recommended. This program has indoor and outdoor portions, please bring outerwear appropriate for the weather.
