Kids enjoyed singing along to the song about the dog and the skunk. |
Throughout the day over 160 people enjoyed the trails, treats, and tranquility at Shawnee Prairie Preserve. The cool spring air and the warm April sun proved the perfect combination for a fun day out celebrating the earth. Naturalist Mandy Martin commented that, “The children and adults were really engaged in trying to identify the fossils at the dig station.” Both Martin and Kathi McQueen, naturalist and volunteer coordinator, mentioned the immense amount of creativity exhibited at the fairy garden station. Many parents thought their children could have spent hours constructing homes for gnomes and fairies under the shelter of the may apple flowers.
Next year’s Nature Day celebration will take place on April 22nd, 2017, Earth Day. For more information about Darke County Parks or any of the programs they offer, call the Nature Center at (937) 548-0165 or email info@darkecountyparks.org.
