Fourth Fridays for Families: Animal and Plant Hibernators with Priscilla Hayes and Joanne Zuckerman (Dec. 23)
Kids 3 to 6 and their adult caregivers will join two naturalists for a fun-filled morning exploring how both animals and plants rest over the winter to start fresh and new in the spring. Plants have multiple ways of winter sleep—both as adult plants (often without leaves) and as seeds. Some seeds need weeks of cold weather in order to germinate in the spring. We will make seed hibernation greenhouses to take home and observe, play “freeze tag” and enjoy other activities. Please bring a snack for your child, as we will have a snack and talk period. Program Fee: $10 per child, $5 for each additional, $0 per adult (Members: Enter your code to receive your 20% discount) Each child must be accompanied by an adult. One adult can attend no more than two children. Walks are weather dependent; please dress for the weather.
