Bring the family for a free adventure on the Noland Trail! This special family workshop, led by Tree Steward and Master Naturalist Deloris Parker, will teach us about the wonders of nature we see every day. We will start at the Museum, learning about the parts of trees, how they grow, the role they play in our natural world, and their many uses. Then we will head outside for a walk on the Noland Trail where we will take a closer look at the trees growing all around us. Recommended for ages 6 to 12 with their families. Limited space available.
1:00 PM
Get a closer look out our newest exhibition Polynesian Voyagers with Curator, Mar Nuccup. Polynesian Voyagers celebrates the time-honored navigational skills of the Polynesian navigators who relied on their knowledge of waves, winds, stars, and nature instead of modern instruments. Limited space available.
2:00 PM
