Take Your Child to a Conservation Work Day

This event is focused on young families who would love to volunteer at one of our beautiful nature preserves but are so busy with children and work that attending can be very daunting. Is this perhaps, you? If so, you and your children, age 6 years old and up, are invited to attend.
Clifftop site stewards and volunteers will take the adults out into our beautiful 300 acre native wildflower and tall grass prairie and woodlands to perform some very needed conservation tasks. The children will gather under our large pavilion for some crafts and simple lessons on what is found at PWSNP and why it is an important ecological preserve. We will take the children on short walks, following craft time, to see and perhaps hear some of the nature preserve residents and enjoy the prairie wildflowers. Clifftop will provide simple snacks and drinking water plus all craft materials for the children. Adults will be provided with all hand tools needed to complete assigned tasks under the direction of PWSNP site stewards. Adults need to wear long slacks, long sleeved shirts, closed toe shoes, a sun hat and work or garden gloves. Children may wear shorts but please have them wear only fully enclosed shoes; no crocs, or sandals. Bug spray and sunscreen are a good idea to bring along with you. Adults may wish to bring a water bottle to carry with them out on the prairie.
Email Joann Fricke at [email protected] with your RSVP. Attendance is limited to 10 children, so please let us know how many will be in your party, # and ages of children and any food allergies.
