Join us for a weekly nature-lovers meetup! All are welcome at this free event series: parents or caretakers with young kids, homeschooling families, and any individuals who love nature are invited to spend quality time together.

Our series takes place at a variety of beautiful meeting spots in the suburbs. Most locations have an indoor space in case of inclement weather, but we will aim to spend time outdoors when possible. Please see the schedule below and register once to attend any or all of the sessions. More information and an optional Whatsapp group will be shared upon registration.
