Young Explorers (Ages 8–12): We will be outdoors observing the diversity of nature while we find different types of leaves, rocks, flowers, birds, and insects.

About: This program is part of a series of nature activities (mostly scheduled for days schools are closed) are designed for 3-to-5-year-olds accompanied by an adult and for 8-to-12-year-olds. They encourage exploration, creativity and environmental awareness. They will enable youngsters to explore and celebrate butterflies, birds and other wildlife while helping nurture a love of nature and Wawapek.  As the Land Alliance’s Long Island Water Education Program instructor, Beth Finger educates elementary school students about the link between preserving land and protecting our water.  She also serves as Farm Educator for Cornell Cooperative Extension, Suffolk County and Naturalist for BOCES.
