The hour-long nature program allows children ages 3 to 5 learn about and experience the outdoors.
All activities are outside and kids break into smaller groups to learn.
The conservation district says this helps them practice social distancing.
They say they already saw a great response from people participating in Tuesday’s activities and they hope to see even more kids learning to love the outdoors.
“We just feel like especially in times of COVID, it definitely highlights the importance of getting outside together, getting outside with your kids and teaching them ways to engage in the outdoors and connect with it,” said Taryn Carew, Education Director.

While winter still has its grip on Northern Michigan, warmer weather isn’t that far off.
In fact, it’s already time for an annual spring event. The Grand Traverse Conservation District has been holding its annual Seedling Sale for nearly 80 years.
What started as a way to help farmers manage their lands has turned into something that’s open to everyone to restore and enhance their landscaping–whether it’s acreage or just around your house.
The native plant sale supports education and conservation efforts, and can even help stop invasive species from coming back. So, whether you’re looking to re-forest your acreage or simply add trees and shrubs to your home landscaping project, there are plenty of options.
