Young Naturalists

Location of Sweet Run State Park in Virginia

Where

Sweet Run State Park, 11661 Harpers Ferry Road, Hillsboro, VA 20132.
Nature Play area

When

March 27, 2024. 10:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.

Designed to introduce young participants to the wonders of the natural world and foster an appreciation for the environment. The goal is to encourage curiosity, exploration, and an understanding of the non living and living things that make up the natural world.  All ages welcome, however, this program is geared for kids ages 3-8.  Parents must stay with young naturalists.  Each month will have a different theme. March we will learn about the sun, moon, our planet earth and the partial Solar Eclipse. If the weather is poor, we will use the Interpretive Center, aka the Barn, but it will still be cold inside. Please dress appropriately.
