Kids and adults are invited to explore nature with the Metro District

The public is invited to attend a Nature EdVenture Program during the month of March with the Highlands Ranch Metro District. A Park Ranger will introduce the youngest explorers to animal coverings, teach kids about volcanos, and lead an all-ages full moon hike at Fly’n B Park.

Little Nature Explorers – Animal Coverings, March 15 – Fur, feathers and scales! These coverings protect and help animals. Kids can touch real animal coverings and make a craft to take home. Open to ages 3-5. Fee: resident $12, nonresident $14. Registration required.

School of Rocks – March 24 – Have you ever been stuck between a rock and a hard place? Dead plants have been there and were transformed into coal that we now use as a resource. Participants will learn how a volcano is formed and make one in class! Open to ages 8-12. Fee: resident $10, nonresident $12. Group discounts for three or more are available. Registration required.

Full Moon Hike - Raccoons – March 27 – Hike by the light of the moon and learn about these sometimes mischievous mammals of Highlands Ranch. Kids can make a raccoon mask to take home.
