Wild Things:Toddler&Family Nature Exploration @ Marine Park

Join us every Friday and Saturday morning from 9:30-11:00am to explore local parks with your little one! Wild Things is a placed-based community program that meets in a different local park each month to see what nature has to offer. We get curious about whatever natural wonders we discover as we move at a toddler’s pace, then wrap up with a “snack and story time”. In June we will be meeting at Marine Park to explore the shore and heron rookery. Best for ages 0-6, older siblings always welcome. We meet year round rain or shine. Registration is encouraged, but not required. Program is donation based/pay-what-you-can
