Description:
Glade Road Growing and New River Land Trust present the final 2019 Kids in the Dirt event: a Summer Farm Education Series with their sixth workshop titled "Farmland Ecology" on Saturday, August 10, 2019.

We’re bringing things full circle in the final Kids in the Dirt session of the season. In this workshop we’ll explore some of the fringes of our farm including stream, hedges and forests. We’ll observe signs of wildlife that live here and how they interact with life on the farm. We will also enjoy a picnic snack (provided) on our adventure. This workshop will be led by JP and Sally in conjunction with Mel of the New River Land Trust.

This series is geared towards kids ages 5-12. Supplies and a farm-based snack provided for each workshop.

Registration required. Sign up for each workshop closes on the prior Wednesday by 9:00 pm.
