Sunday, September 6 at 10:00am to 11:30am
The Secret Life of Vines– Ages 12+. Vines are some of the forest’s most fascinating climbers. On this program, we’ll explore the park to discover how different vines grow, climb, and compete for sunlight. Along the way, we’ll learn to identify several common species and talk about their role in the ecosystem. Participants will also try using flexible vines to create a simple woven wreath or nature craft.
