I found this great information on the Arboretum's website.
Join us for a wee-adventure at the Arboretum! Every lesson includes age-appropriate activities for ages 3 to 5 (2 year olds are also welcome) such as nature walks, garden exploration, stories, crafts and visits from our classroom animals.
Cost: $6.00 for each child over age 2 (additional craft fees may apply). Younger siblings and adults are free of charge. A "Wee Card" can be purchased at a cost of $20.00 and is good for 4 visits.
Prior registration is not required. Programs begin in Classroom 3 at the Education Center on most Tuesdays October through May. Participants are welcome to come as early as 9:30 am to explore the classroom and engage in self-led activities. The formal program begins at 10:00 am and runs until 11:00 am. A parent or guardian is required to attend the full duration of the program. All participants should be dressed for an outdoor program. For more information contact Jonathan Marchal, Youth Education Coordinator, at jmarchal@ncarboretum.org or (828) 665-2492 ext. 228.
Winter Sleepers - November 10, 2009
There's a chill in the air and the leaves have fallen from the trees, which means animals need to prepare for the winter. Join us as we talk about local wild animals that sleep all winter long. We'll head outside to see places that make an ideal den for animals from flying squirrels to black bears, and what foods animals can find in our woodlands to prepare for their long nap.
Wild about Turkeys! - November 17, 2009
This time of year one bird in particular tends to get a lot of attention. Join us as we explore the wonders of wild turkeys - what they eat, how they live, and what those crazy sounds they make are all about. Children will make a craft using real turkey feathers.
November 24 - No Wee Naturalist, Back in December!
