Service Description
Hey there, adventurous families! Ready to embark on a woodland journey that's bound to leave both you and your little explorers wide-eyed with wonder? Dive into our Forest Plant Identification adventure, a magical expedition crafted with the curiosity of kids in mind but with plenty of green wisdom for the grown-ups too!
​
This isn't just any hike; it's a slow-paced, hands-on exploration designed for the young, yet open to all ages. As we meander through the lush landscapes of our local forests, we'll unlock the secrets of the natural world, turning every leaf and twig into a storybook of nature's marvels.
​
Parents, guardians, and adult chaperones, get ready to team up with your pint-sized partners in discovery. Together, we'll delve into the diverse tapestry of trees, shrubs, and plants that burst into life, especially during the vibrant spring season. Imagine the thrill as your child's first encounter with a fern or a foxglove sparks a lifelong passion for the outdoors!
But wait, there's more to this green adventure than just identification. We'll explore the practical side of plants too, discussing how they've been used for food, tools, and even medicine. And who knows? We might just roll up our sleeves and forage some wild treasures to take home and experiment with!
​
Eager to join the fun? Sign up, and we'll share all the details, including our secret starting point in the heart of the forest. Remember, every child explorer needs an adult co-adventurer to share in the journey.
