Event Description
(For adults & teens) Discover the hidden wonders of nature with our 6-session class! How often do you walk outside and REALLY observe the nature surrounding you? In this 6-session class we will explore questions like:

- What habitats can you find in the parks?
- Defining the plant communities in the parks
- What natural patterns are occurring?
- What is the ecological history of this place?
- and much more!

Bring along a journal or sketchbook to capture your discoveries. Don’t worry if you don’t have one – we’ve got you covered! All are welcome, so get ready to embark on an unforgettable journey into the wild.
