This event is part of our monthly “Nature on the Move” series with 15 Minute Field Trips, focusing on community action to protect wildlife, promote biodiversity, and combat climate change. Learn about local flora, fauna, and funga through art and science activities. Great for families or to use in the classroom. Check out the informative displays, make a craft, and get moving as we explore Blackstone Park.
