Attend our monthly gathering of families with children of any age. We have the simple mission of relatively unstructured playtime in the natural world. It's also a great time for parents to meet and talk to other adults whilst the kiddos romp and explore. This month we are going to plant a tree! In honor of Earth Day, Pine Hill Nursery (Kewadin) has generously donated a Serviceberry tree to the Wagbo Farm. In addition to tree planting and dedication, we will play some outdoor games in celebration of Earth Day and Spring, as well as make a Spring-themed craft.
