NATURE’S RECYCLERS
June 20 or July 25
Investigate how nature recycles nutrients through the process of decomposition. On our hike, children will search for decomposers hiding under rotting logs or in the leaf litter on the forest floor.
PLEASED TO EAT YOU!
June 27 or Aug 1
Search for links in food chains by investigating who is living in the Arboretum’s ponds. Discover what local animals eat and how to classify them as herbivore, carnivore, or omnivore while pond dipping for aquatic creatures.
ECO EXPLORERS
Aug 8 (No class on July 4)
Identify ways that organisms live and survive in their ecosystem by interacting with the living and non-living elements. Practice your nature journaling skills while we compare the physical characteristics of the woodland, savanna, prairie, and wetland habitats to determine how each ecosystem supports biological communities.
Please come dressed for the outdoors, including closed-toe shoes. This is a drop-off class. Parents and siblings are welcome to explore the Arboretum’s grounds on their own.
