TREASURES OF THE CITY FOREST

For 2nd - 5th grade students

This 2-hour program takes students on a quest to earn treasure rings that symbolize nature’s cycles in the city forest. They’ll visit the Compost Gourmet Kitchen, see it rain at our Urban Watershed Garden, have a ball playing the Air Exchange game, discover nature’s treasures in disguise, and plant seeds to take home and care for. The experience results in a better understanding of the city forest and how we can help it thrive!
