ABOUT PRESERVE @ PLAY

Preserve @ Play is our 5th annual community day dedicated to children and families. Please join us on Saturday, September 26 from 10 am - 2 pm.

This year's theme is "Nutty for Seeds, Nuts and Berries." We explore and demonstrate the power a tiny seed, nut or berry holds for our native ecosystems and how the food web creates and sustains plants, insects, birds and wildlife!

Nature Play activities and crafts will be offered throughout the Preserve's walking trails and exhibits, including favorite locales like the New Pond, Sycamore Hollows and Storybook Trail. Please note that most activities are designed for children 12 and under.

Our main stage at the Stone Bridge will feature live music from Lolly Hopwood, a woodland dance party, storytime and an interactive program from Aark Wildlife Education Center.

Our Visitor Center parking lot will feature 2 food trucks with savory and sweet menu options for purchase, family picnic seating and fun activities like face painting.

Our Twinleaf Book & Gift Shop will feature family-friendly books, T-shirts and nature-inspired goodies to peruse.

Our Auditorium will serve as a Quiet Zone for birdwatching and a quieter atmosphere.

Calling all families - children, parents, grandparents, neighbors, classmates and friends! We look forward to seeing you for a day of fun and exploration and a celebration of nature.

Preserve @ Play is a rain or shine event.
