Snow days with Ms. Andrea: Preschool Explorers and Newbies in Nature break in their winter boots

What fun it is to explore and play with naturalist Ms. Andrea on the snow-covered trails of local conservation lands! This week’s adventures brought HCT’s crew of future conservationists to the lovely Rolf E. Sylvan Gardens Conservation Area in Chatham. Newbies in Nature admired the sparkling forest with bright eyes and awe, discovering the beauty of the winter landscape. Preschool Explorers learned about animal tracks and the joys of making snow angels! The fun and learning never ends for families who join HCT’s free family programs.
