Pre-registration Begins July 29
Did you know that studies have found kids who spend more time in nature are generally healthier, happier, and test better in school than those who don’t? Sign-up your 5 – 11 year-old homeschooled student for a morning or afternoon of discovery! Staff naturalists have developed hands-on fun and educational lesson plans, using live wildlife and outdoor exploration! This is a drop-off program. You can register for multiple months.
Wednesday, September 18 Topic - “Beneath the Bark”
Did you know that emerald ash borer larvae make “s” shapes under the bark of ash trees? Originally from eastern Asia, these insects were accidentally brought to North America in shipping containers and have devastated Ohio’s woods. Come join us this September as we explore “Beneath the Bark” to uncover more non-native insect, plant, and bird species that have started to call Ohio their new home.
