Drop-In Discovery Days: Scraps to Soil

Join us for Drop-In Discovery Days, a free Saturday Summer series designed for nature explorers of all ages. Each week, materials and staff will be available to support your exploration as you enjoy hands-on, themed activities at your own pace.
No registration is needed. Look for the new Discovery Cart* from 10 am-12 pm — we’ll have a sign at the main entrance to guide you. We can’t wait to explore with you!
