Kids, grab your favorite grownup and come to the Environmental Education Center for a special morning of nature, art, and hiking! In this program, kids and adults will join certified nature journaling guide Leah Zabari to learn how to observe the natural world and use pencil and watercolor to record it.

Spaces are limited and registration is required. Each child and adult must be registered through the "register" link above. All children must be accompanied by an adult throughout the program.

Come prepared with sturdy footwear for a one-mile hike that includes some roots, rocks, and uneven terrain. We will be taking several stops along our route to observe, draw, and paint.

All journaling materials will be provided, but if you are already working on a nature journal, feel free to bring it along! There is water available at our meeting location (bring a reusable bottle), and bathrooms at the meeting location and along the route. Picnic tables are available nearby if you'd like to bring your lunch for after the program!
