Daily programming includes interactive, hands-on activities for kids and parents to learn and participate in efforts to be easy on the Earth!

Tree Cookies
Tree Cookies might not be for snacking, but they are a peek into the life of a tree! This staff led interactive activity will encourage all participants to examine and discuss the rings on the cross section of a tree and what they indicate! Wood you believe it!?!

Art-rageous
An open-ended activity for our youngest visitors to explore and organize recycled paper materials to create imaginative collages.

Trash to Treasure
One person's trash could become your treasure. You will recycle materials into something new...set your imagination free!
