Back by popular demand…We’re offering another semester of Nature School this fall! Each class will include a structured learning activity on a particular topic and an exploratory nature walk. For example, in the past we studied vultures, bird eggs and nests, leaf identification, beaver dams, and more. In this series, we will learn about new and different topics as the seasons change, so we invite returning and new Nature School students alike to sign up!
