Our theme this year is “One Small Step” – because in nature, as in life, every journey begins with one small step, from acorn to oak, tadpole to frog, caterpillar to butterfly.
Explore the trails, meet local naturalists, discover wildlife, create nature-inspired crafts, and make memories together outdoors.
Activities include:
- Pond Life
- Magical Fairies
- Pollinator Path
- Who Pooped?
- Map it Out!
- Nature’s Sanctuary
- Leaf & Bark Rubbing
- Research Tent
- Nature Journaling
- Indigenous Connections to Nature
