Natural Lands’ NextGen Council invites families to meet up for a few hours of fun and exploration. All activities are free, but registration is requested.

At the pavilion:

• Make crafts to take home.

• Enjoy lounging, lawn games, and outdoor fun.

• Small snacks will be available for CASH-ONLY purchase.

• Pints for the grown-ups (cash or credit card).

• NEW this year: Touch-a-Truck with our partners John B. Ward Arborists.

At Ollie Owl’s NaturePlayGround

• Search for clues for the Ollie Owl Scavenger Hunt.

• Climb logs, build stick teepees, hunt for bugs, explore small streams, and get a little dirty, tired, and inspired.

• Free play is encouraged and is a great way for kids to gain an appreciation for nature.

• Ollie Owl’s NaturePlayGround is designed for children ages 4 to 12 years old, but older kids and adults have fun, too. Children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Kiddos are encouraged to explore at their own pace, so stay and play as little or long as you like in this drop-in event.
