The natural world provides so many opportunities, even for our “littlest explorers,” for discovery, imagination and problem-solving, as well as possible health advantages such as motor-skill development, improved immunity & regulation of sleep-wake cycles. In this new series of guided hikes, we are excited to share all of these benefits with children up to age 5 and a caretaker.

Join a Fern Hollow Educator to explore some of our community’s amazing parks! Terrain will range from easy to moderate, and total length will be determined by the participants, as these are geared to be child-led.

*All children must be accompanied by an adult*Specific directions and meeting locations will be given to participants after registration.
