Nature in Your Neighborhood: Meet a Tree!

You don't have to leave your neighborhood to explore nature! Join a Refuge Ranger at your local library to explore our biggest plant neighbors, trees! Learn the basics of tree identification, make a new friend and create tree art! Activities will be both indoor and outside and are geared toward elementary-aged students, but all are welcome! We will finish the program with a take-home project. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
