It’s a bird! It’s a plane! No, it’s really a bird! Join our flock to learn about local bird species. We’ll build our own nests, talk about beak adaptations and more, all while doing some indoor birdwatching.

Learn about leaf scars, bundle traces, bud scales and more. We will start inside with the basics and then test our new-found knowledge outside to identify common trees.  

Come outside to make forts, play on our nature play trail and expend all of that extra energy. Unless conditions are hazardous, we will brave the cold together, so bring your hat and gloves!

Meet local artists and learn about the traditional art of rug hooking.

Immerse yourself in a relaxing, transcendent experience of vibration and sound with Dr. Allan Bazzoli, M.D.

From December through February during daylight hours, enjoy the fresh air and take a hike on the BFEC river trail, using a clue brochure to solve puzzles as you hike. Once you’ve solved the puzzles, drop off your answers at the resource center for a small trinket.
