The Magic of Nature: What's Peeping at the Pools?

This event is no longer on sale.

Saturday March 18

10:00 AM  –  11:30 AM

FOR CHILDREN AGES 6-11 

Join us for a walk to Tyler’s vernal pools to see what we can discover! We’ll be looking and listening for spring peepers as well as wood frog egg masses, and who knows what else we’ll find? Dress warmly and wear boots so that you can get down close to the pools (but not in them).

Are you looking for ways to increase your child’s awareness of the natural world? Join us for an adventure at Tyler for youth ages 6-11 called The Magic of Nature! You will be guided by Barbara Frank, one of our experienced Docents and a PA Master Naturalist. Seeing our youth fall in love with nature is her passion, as she encourages everyone to use their senses to make discoveries while helping families encourage a lifetime of learning about the world in which we live. Note weather and other unforeseen circumstances could impact the planned topic of the tour.

This program is for children ages 6-11 with one free supervising adult. Check in at the Visitor Center first, and then we will set off together to make discoveries and enjoy a short walk to an area that sparks our imaginations. This is an outdoor activity, so please dress accordingly. In case of rain, the group will meet in a protected area.
