On Wednesday, January 27th and Thursday, January 28th, join Kate for a short nature walk to celebrate and explore our friends, the trees! 

We will do some bark rubbings, make some twig/stick sculptures, and talk about the many ways that trees help the Earth and its inhabitants.

Please fill out the form below to register for the program.  Please be sure to include the total number of people who will be attending--this includes children and adults. Example: William, age 4, and Kate, parent. Number of people attending: 2. 

We must strictly adhere to our protocols which include limiting group size for now. We thank you for your cooperation and support and kindly ask that you refrain from signing up multiple family members if just one registration spot remains. To help support having as many families join us as safely possible, we also ask that you and your family members/pod connect first to discuss which time slot will work the best before completing the registration form. This helps to cut down on cancellations/time slot registration changes, confusion, and the need for a wait list. Again, thank you so much for your understanding, support, and care.

 When finished, please scroll to the very bottom and click on the Submit button to complete your registration. Thank you!
