Sights and Sounds of Harvest Square
January 12 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Families with elementary aged children are invited to attend these program events focused on exploring the natural environment to develop a connection to the land, to wildlife and to each other. We will learn about Alabama’s biodiversity and natural resources at Harvest Square Nature Preserve through exploration of the sights and sounds of nature.
We will read literature together to spark curiosity about the natural world; we will discover and explore our natural environment together through walks and planned activities; we will introduce the concept of field journaling as a way to capture our discoveries; and ultimately we will foster connection with our natural environment.
Additional Notes:
Please dress appropriately and bring your own water/snacks for a short hike.
Participants will be provided with a field journal; participants are encouraged to keep the field journal and bring to future events.
This program will last between one and two hours, depending on the week’s theme.
Ages: Elementary aged children (ages 5-11) and their caregivers
