Each family member must be able to walk up steep hills and hike for two miles. Please dress for the weather and wear appropriate foot gear for some wet walking. |

Can you believe that there are animals that live in a puddle? Frogs, salamanders and little insect larva can be found in the vernal pools of Holden’s forests. We’ll explore these soggy spots with dip nets and take our findings to a microscope for a closer look. It will be wet and muddy out there, so dress for the weather and wear appropriate foot gear. |

Your family can turn leftover food scraps into nutrient rich soil with the help of some hungry red wiggler worms. Each family will construct their own worm bin to take home and get it started with real worms! With some easy maintenance, your bin will never have unpleasant odors or unwanted pests. We’ll also read Diary of a Worm and take a trip outside to find out how our composting worms are different than the worms in the forest. Registration deadline is one week before the date of the class. |
