June 16th: Bird Bonanza for 3-5 year olds, 10-11:30am
Come join us at the Washington Park Arboretum and explore the wonderful world of birds in our Foster Island wetlands. We’ll build a nest together, go bird watching (and hopefully see baby birds!), play a bird game and make a bird feeder. We’ll take a break during our adventure to eat a snack - bring your own and no nuts, please – and read a bird-themed story.
June 16th: Citizen Science: Water Works for 6-12 year olds, 1-3pm
Help us kick off our participation in the “World Water Monitoring Challenge” - an international education and outreach program to build public awareness and involvement in protecting water resources around the world by engaging citizens to conduct basic monitoring of their local water bodies. Come learn about our watershed, water quality testing and the world of water. We will collect our first set of water quality data from Lake Washington, play some games, dip for macro invertebrates and dive into ways to keep our water clean.

Park in the Dark at the Arboretum --- May-October 2012
Night time is special at the Arboretum – the people and cars are gone, and the nocturnal animals move about. Night hikes are a chance for us to explore our senses, search for crepuscular and nocturnal movements in the forest and learn about night-related animal adaptations.
