Description
Have you noticed the days getting shorter? There's real science behind that shift, and the natural world is responding in real time.
At this small-group homeschool program, young naturalists and their caregivers explore how changing light drives seasonal change in autumn: from animals sensing the cue to migrate or hibernate, to the way plants prepare for dormancy.
Through outdoor investigation and a trail walk, discover how a few minutes less of daylight can set off a cascade of change across the entire landscape.
Small group sizes keep things curious, collaborative, and full of discovery.
