Come along on an exciting outdoor adventure at our ice pond! In this hands-on program, you’ll venture to the pond to search for macro-invertebrates — small aquatic beings that tell us a lot about the health of our water and ecosystem. Through this experience, you’ll discover how the presence or absence of these critters can help us assess water quality and environmental well-being. This program is perfect for curious learners who appreciate environmental conservation and don’t mind getting a little wet or muddy while exploring nature. We’ll provide all the materials you need for this exploration, but be sure to wear clothes that can get messy and, if possible, waterproof boots to stay comfortable during your aquatic adventure!
For ages 8+. Pre-registration required.

Spend some time in the garden to keep it healthy and beautiful. Volunteers will work together to clear debris and unwanted growth, freshen up plant beds, prepare the space for plantings, and improve pathways. Volunteers will learn how the farm grows and cares for the vegetables, herbs, and flowers that fill the beds each season.
No experience is needed. Volunteers should dress accordingly for outdoor work, bring gloves or favorite hand tools, and get ready to enjoy fresh air, teamwork, and make a tangible difference. Events are subject to change based on weather conditions.
