What is a native plant? Let's see what we can see! This Wildlings Romp is a gentle guided introduction to local native plants during a walk through one of our community's natural areas to observe the native flora and wildlife they support. Families are invited to gently explore the spillway creek embankment and tree grove to encourage observation of the world around us using the Leave No Trace principles, with examples of species they may find to help guide their observations in their event guidebook. This activity will begin with a brief introduction from our guide, pairing of our observation buddies, and will end with a picnic and circle time to share our Wildlings' observations. Participants will be encouraged to consider native species they could incorporate into their own backyards, with local native plant suppliers and plant/seed swap events provided in their event guidebook. This event is free and open to the public.
Events are all-weather. In case of rain/cool temperatures, please wear long pants, a rain jacket, and tall rubber boots. Bringing a towel and/or blanket is encouraged. Need to carpool? Contact Elizabeth Burge at 606-331-3943 via text if you need to make arrangements.
