Tree Walk for Kids

Feb 11, 2015 by Stephanie

Rain date Sunday, November 8

Join us as we explore the amazing variety of trees in Glen Providence Park! There are over 50 species of trees in Glen Providence Park, which was dedicated as an Arboretum in 1935. Aura Lester will teach the kids (and their parents!) how to identify some of those trees on a hike through the park. With a degree in biology, Aura’s career experiences include environmental educator in Philadelphia, research assistant in Alaska(!), and high school science teacher.

Logistics:

• There will be a craft for the first 20 registrants – RSVP by emailing FriendsoftheGlen[AT]gmail.com.
• Meet at the main entrance, West State Street, Media.
• Be prepared for uneven (possibly wet) terrain: wear sturdy shoes.
• Free!
• If the weather is questionable, we will post on Facebook by 9:00 Saturday morning whether we will use the Sunday rain date.
