We tend to overlook the smaller things in nature, but organisms such as fungi, mosses, ferns, and lichens are important components of an ecosystem. Education Director Carrie Szwed will take you on a virtual hike to point out each of these small wonders, plus any forms of tiny animal life that may cross her path.

Join us for a special program designed for young nature lovers aged 3-6 years old. Education Director Carrie Szwed will read “What Cat is That?” from The Cat in the Hat’s Learning Library, followed by a meet-and-greet with Carrie’s own tabby cat. Then she’ll lead you through the making of a cat-inspired craft using materials you can find around the house.
