Led by naturalist Andrea Higgins
Calling all curious children ages 5-10 years old: please join Naturalist Andrea Higgins for a Family Forest Exploration to discover the wonders of the natural world while hiking the trails of local conservation lands. Admire the sights and sounds of nature while learning about the land we live on. We will practice identifying native flora and fauna species, track wildlife, exercise wilderness awareness activities, and create nature journals.
Each participant is encouraged to bring a backpack with water, snacks, insect repellent, a journal, and a pencil.
Each student must be accompanied by a parent, grandparent, or caregiver.
Andrea is a Teacher Naturalist with more than 20 years of experience leading outdoor adventures.
Thanks to a generous donor supporting HCT’s early childhood family programs, these adventures are free. Space is limited so please reserve in advance. Locations and driving directions will be included in your registration confirmation email.
