Wonder with Nature this Weekend!

What kinds of plants and animals live in your backyard? How do your local ecosystems work? How does nature change over the seasons, and how are these seasons changing over time? Learn how keeping records can improve your relationship with nature and provide a unique perspective on our planet’s systems and cycles. At this month’s Wonder Weekend, you and your family can have fun with phenology – explore a variety of nature records and techniques, practice on our grounds, and find the journaling style that works for you. Learn how to get started, get tips from experts, enjoy hands-on journaling activities, check out displays and nature photography, and more!
