Join us for this new Nature Connection program for children and families as we explore nature at Center Park! This series will take participants outdoors for a mindful exploration of nature. Listen for birds, make a nature map, become a plant detective, draw a leaf, write a poem about a pebble, count flower petals, imagine a bee's life, tell a seed's story, and wonder about the world.

Participants will become more familiar and build a deeper connection with the nature that surrounds them every day, making it easier for them to access the wild spirit, strength, and dignity of nature no matter where they are. Nature Connection Explorations take place outdoors at Center Park unless inclement weather where we will prepare an indoor nature exploration at the Gleason Public Library. For ages 6 and up (with an adult participant).

The Nature Connection provides therapeutic nature programs that utilize radical respectfulness along with sensory exploration of nature to foster well-being for participants of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities.

Please register for each session individually. If you have any questions, please email us at childrens@gleasonlibrary.org.

The Nature Connection Explorations Series is sponsored by the Susan Zielinski Natural Science Fund.
