The Little Naturalist programs are tailored to specific age
groups with events for:
- young children (two to four
years)
- school-aged children (five
to ten years).
Each hour-long program includes a
short guided nature walk and strolling scavenger hunt followed
by hands-on nature-themed activities and concluding with a theme
snack and story.
All participating children must be registered and accompanied
by a parent or adult guardian.
With a new
online registration, it
takes only minutes to sign up for a Little Naturalist Program.
Below is a schedule of the Little Naturalist Program events for
