CANCELLED: The Magic of Nature: The Ground We Walk On

This event is no longer on sale.

Saturday October 15

10:00 AM  –  11:30 AM

FOR CHILDREN AGES 6-11 

With magnifying glasses in hand, we will walk into the woods and get a hands-on, close-up look at the ground we walk on. Let’s find out what’s under our feet, talk about how it got there, and why it’s important to the natural world.

Are you looking for ways to increase your child’s awareness of the natural world? Then, join us as we begin a new adventure at Tyler for youth ages 6-11: The Magic of Nature! Barbara Frank, one of our experienced Docents and a PA Master Naturalist, will guide you. 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. Please note that 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.
