FOR ALL AGES
What’s waking up in spring?
Spring is here, and it’s time to explore what’s waking up! Join us to look for flowers, budding trees, insects, birds, and other signs of the season. We will have a magnifying glass on hand to take a closer look at the details around us. Using all our senses, we’ll discover what’s happening in the trees and along the trails. Let’s see what spring has in store!
Looking to spark your child’s curiosity about the outdoors? Join us for Family Explorers: What Lives at the Arboretum. This program invites families to explore nature using their senses to uncover its secrets. Each child will receive a Tyler journal to document their discoveries, and there will be time at the end to create entries. Bring your journal to future Family Explorers tours to capture all the amazing moments of the season. Let’s see what we can discover together!
About your guide: Barbara Frank is a PA Master Naturalist, a Tyler-trained docent, a yoga teacher, an artist, and a true lover of nature in all of its manifestations. She leads tours for children and adults.
