Event details

We’re keeping the nature center open late for this nature-themed program geared toward 3- to 5-year-olds. This month it is all about animal adaptations. What makes animals so good at living in the wild? We will explore the ELEX (Early Learner’s Exercise) Trail obstacles at Goodenow Grove. We will attempt to move in the ways different forest animals do. Can you balance on a branch like a bird? Can you move across a web like a spider? Join us to find out!
