Nature Tots

Nature Tots is once a month, free program that is for pre-k age children. Parents will help their children explore a different topic each month. We try to provide a sensory activity (sometimes messy) then go on a short hike along the blue trail. This program takes place at Elsie Holmes Nature Park most months. December, January and February fun nature themed activities are held in one of our voting precincts.
