Nature ABC's is a time for families of children ages 0–5 to gather and enjoy an hour of fun free activities with our instructor. Join us Fridays from August 23rd through June 6th for an animal visit, story time, singing and dancing, an art project, and a nature walk in our beautiful park. This program is offered free of charge through funding from First Five Butte County. This program runs on a drop-in basis and space is limited to 25 children. Online registration is not required and we recommend arriving early to guarantee a space! This is not a drop off program and all children must be accompanied by an adult who can help them as needed. We hope to see you there!
