Nature and Nurture: An Earth Day Celebration at Kanuga

Nature & Nurture is Earth Day done the fun way. Spend the day outdoors with Mountain Trail Outdoor School instructors leading interactive, kid-friendly adventures that invite exploration, creativity, and curiosity. Along the way, enjoy special moments with our Newfie therapy dog friends — gentle giants who remind us that time outside heals hearts as well as habitats.

It’s simple: get your hands dirty, breathe deep, meet new friends (two- and four-legged), and celebrate the planet together. Play outside. Learn outside. Heal outside.

This event will have several activity stations for you to explore at your own pace:

• Paw-tographs with Oliver the celebrity Newfie
• Nature Craft
• Meet & Greet some Mountain Trail Outdoor School animal ambassadors, Albert the box turtle and Mingo the corn snake, and Boofus the American Toad
• Aqautic Ecology: critter scooping & identification
• Nature hike

If you’re able, consider supporting one of our beloved animal ambassadors with a donation. Your gift helps care for our teaching animals and sustains Kanuga’s Environmental and Outdoor Education programs — keeping hands-on nature learning thriving for all ages.
