BEGIN AGAIN: 50 YEARS AND COUNTING
February 7 - December 13, 2026 / Aronson Fine Arts Center
Have you ever wondered where your favorite forest critter sleeps at night? On this guided hike, we’ll slow down, look up, and explore the hidden homes tucked throughout the Park’s Art Hike Trail! Together, we’ll learn how to search for nests both high up in the trees and those hiding below our feet through respectful, curious observation. Families and friends will discover the Park from a new perspective, like true nature explorers! Dress for the weather and wear appropriate footwear.
Saturday, March 7 / 10 a.m. / Free, registration required / Level 3
Add a little charm and cluck to your countertop! Join us in the clay studio to sculpt whimsical chicken-themed kitchen companions.
