SUMMARY:Little Naturalists
DESCRIPTION:Ivy Creek Natural Area Introduce your three- to five-year-old to nature! Trained guides explore topics such as food chains\, hibernation\, how trees grow and more with three- to five-year-olds and their accompanying adults. The program starts indoors for 20-30 minutes where the children engage with the guides through reading nature centered books and doing a hands-on activity related to the learning in the book. This is followed with a short hike on one of the ICNA trails. Little Naturalists meet  on the second Mondays\, fourth Thursdays\, and third Saturdays of every month. Gatherings are held from 10:00 to 11:30 am. We prefer that people preregister for these programs. The link to register for the next third Saturday is here.  Siblings are also welcome to attend. For more fun learning activities visit our CF Education Resources page.
