04.12: Children's Nature Programs

2013-03-15 00:36:43| Powells Books Events Calendar

Each program includes a story, real specimens, hands-on learning activities, and ways for students to connect to the nature in their community. At 1 p.m., students will discover the world of "Rambling Raccoons" and will be led on their own nocturnal adventure. At 2 p.m., "Busy Beavers" will lead students to discover how beavers get all of their chores done and how humans try to copy their creativity. These programs are produced by Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation District.
