Do you have a little one who enjoys being outdoors? Are you wondering what they can do during the rainy season? Bring your littlest naturalist to the Refuge to stomp in puddles and learn to appreciate the wet weather that makes Oregon so green!
This preschool environmental education program invites children and their families to spend the morning learning about the natural wonders of the Refuge! Volunteer Naturalists will lead nature crafts, share stories, and guide hikes on Refuge trails. We have 'froggy' raingear for the kids, but adults should bring their own. Each date offers a different theme, so Puddle Stompers are encouraged to visit on multiple days.
This event is free & open to the public, but registration is required. Send your name, email address, phone number, and the date(s) you would like to attend, along with your little naturalist's name and age, to Jenna at jenna_mendenhall@fws.govor call (503)625-5944.
