Evergreen Walk & Craft

Description

Ages: 5 through adult | All children must be accompanied by an adult.

Instructor: Laura Bush, Principal Park Naturalist

Warm up with a winter nature walk around the Arboretum! Do you know the difference between pines, spruces, and hemlocks? Can you find five different shades of green? What’s the difference between a conifer and an evergreen? Let’s find out the answers to these questions while exploring your local park. Bring your own clippers and a tote bag, or borrow ours, to collect some greens during the walk. We will then assemble your project to use in your holiday decorating. Families may work together on one project or pay per person to each create their own. We will collect greens at the Arboretum and then participants can walk or drive to Echo Hill Park to assemble their projects indoors.
