It's better to be prepared! Flashlights might not always work and matches can be easy to lose. Learn how to make a fire with the tools nature provides.

This program is for children, ages 10 and older with an adult.

Registration, beginning January 2, is required.

W.J. Green Lodge Reserved Picnic Area is located off Valley Parkway in Mill Stream Run Reservation, south of Bagley Road and north of Eastland Road in Berea.
