Live with Lauren

Join us for our last "Live with Lauren" of 2020!

 

On December 8th, we'll be hosting a winter-animal-themed edition of Live with Lauren on Facebook Live. Our Naturalist, Lauren Azoury, along with the help of Duck, Buck and Chuck will teach us what animals do to survive winters. This interactive program is great for all ages!

Warm cocoa will be waiting for you at the end of the trail. A take home craft kit will be provided.

This event is entirely outside; dress accordingly. Masks will be required during the entirety of the event. This is self-guided walk along the lantern lit trail.
