Last Saturday Crafts is a fun activity time at the nature center, held at 1 pm during the last Saturday of the month. We will have a make-and-take-activity most children can complete independently, although parents may need to assist preschool-aged children. Any age child is welcome to participate. These events are included with paid admission to the nature center. Please check the website for any schedule changes due to holiday closures.
