Nature in the City

Today we are going to explore nature in the city and challenge YOU to explore it too! We’ll fly like a bird to observe nature in the city. Then we’ll explore city gardens, learn to build a composter, see a terrarium craft, walk through a conservatory and visit a national park! We’re so glad you joined us today!
