Children ages 3 to 5 years old and an accompanying adult are invited to learn about the natural world all around us by looking for clues in nature. Big Naturalist and environmental educator Eileen Gerle leads this hour-long program that includes story time, a nature walk, and a craft.

Please sign up for each month separately.  The themes are:

• November 7  - Little Nature Detectives
• December 5 - Sensing Nature
• January 2 - Colors of Nature
• February 6 - Recycling Fun

Children are asked to wear sturdy, closed footwear and to bring a water bottle. Registration is limited to twelve to ensure a small group experience.

REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED for each month invidually.

PLEASE NOTE:  This year's program takes place at Shamrock Park Nature Center, 3900 Shamrock Dr., Venice, FL 34293. There is no fee but donations are welcome.
