Community Focused Programs
We are committed to helping create healthy, happy communities!
We love getting out into the community and encouaging people of all ages to explore and learn about the natural world! You might see us at the farmer's market, local parades, PTA meetings, and many other community events promoting our programs, teaching people about the natural world or encouraging people to get outdoors. Join us for our monthly community hikes and/or nature programs!
