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.
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.
Accessibility at Penn Lake Library: Restrooms and water fountains available inside of the library. Handicap parking available. Paved flat sidewalk, a 0.1 mile walk from parking lot to the library entrance. Paths are maintained year-round and are usually suitable for strollers and wheelchairs. Multiple rest areas located inside and outside.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is committed to providing access to these events for all participants.
