Join us for two preschool nature programs led by a local naturalist. 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., "Wise Owls" will teach students about what makes an owl different from other birds and where to look for owls in the dark. These programs are produced by Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation District.
