"Nursery Nature Workshops"
are now
"Tykes on Trails"
September Dates Announced!
Tykes on Trails is for
children 2-4 years old and their parents.
Children will learn about local flora and fauna while
practicing early language, math and science skills. Each week will focus on
a different theme. The workshops are designed to nurture children's innate curiosity
about nature and give parents a chance to bond with their children in peaceful,
natural settings.

Join us Sat, Aug 23rd for a hike for big tykes ages 5 to 7!
