Nature Exploration Walk
Saturday, June 21, 2025 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Green Lakes State Park
Do you know a kid who loves exploring? That is just what
this walk is all about! Join an environmental educator as we explore along one
of our trails. We may even go a little off trail once or twice. We will use
hand lenses to get up close with nature. Together we will learn how to make
observations to become more aware of the natural world around us. We will walk
1 to 1.5 miles. Wear sneakers or other good walking shoes, bring a water
bottle, and consider wearing bug spray. Meet at the Environmental Education
Center (West Beach).
