Event Description
Gather the family to join us Tuesday afternoons for a live 30 minute session with our interpreters, learning about and connecting to the natural world around us. Whether it’s learning how animals stay warm in winter, how seeds travel from place to place, or creating natural art outdoors, your family will have the opportunity to ask questions live with our nature experts in this interactive learning experience – free to all with natural curiosity.
1 to 1:30 p.m. (EST)
Free to attend, pre-registration required. Donations accepted at time of registration, or support us any time with a donation to our COVID sustainability fund.
Registration for each program closes the Friday prior at 2 p.m.
What you need: Participants will require a computer, laptop, tablet, iPad or even a phone if that is what is available to you. Any of these devices will work just fine. For the best experience (minimal audio lag and good video), you should be hardwired, but that isn’t always possible. If you are using WiFi, it sometimes helps to have the other household devices offline/ airplane mode.
Are you a teacher looking for virtual programming for your classroom? These sessions are reserved for individual families, but instead please check out our Virtual Field Trip options!
Now available in French! See our 11 a.m. session for more information and to register.
