Meet us at the parking lot at the end of Birch Hill Road for a kid-led nature exploration as part of our Forest Friday series. This series will be led by nature-based educator Karly Wilcox from Four Winds Nature Institute.  We will offer supervised kid-led exploration and unstructured outdoor play for kids aged 0-5 and their guardians. This series will take place rain, snow, or shine – be sure to dress appropriately for the weather, you’ll want to be comfortable being still, muddy, or snow covered.

This series is intended for kids aged 0-5 and their guardians.

GOATs Role: Show up 30 minutes prior to the start of the event and help with attendance, parking, and donation collection. Make sure all attendees have the proper attire, carry a basic first aid kit with you, and help people back to their cars if needed. Help arrange pick up of GOAT supplies from the GOAT refill station before the trip, if necessary. Return the attendance sheet to Derrick via email or drop off.
