Family Nature Night

Families are invited to an evening of discovery and outdoor fun at the Dickinson County
Nature Center during the next Family Nature Night on Friday, January 23, from 5 to 6 PM. This free
program encourages families to learn about nature and the outdoors while spending quality time
together.

The evening’s theme, ‘Be Like Bigfoot’ by leaving no trace. Families will walk through a visual timeline
that shows how long different types of trash take to break down in nature. The group will then head
outside to search the trails at Kenue Park for the seven Leave No Trace principles while keeping an eye
out for any signs that Bigfoot might have passed through.

Back indoors, families will brainstorm ways they can leave little to no trace when visiting wild spaces.
Everyone will add their ideas to a large collage that will be displayed at the Nature Center. Children will
also receive a booklet to take home as a reminder to care for outdoor spaces wherever their adventures
take them.

Families are required to register and sign up by visiting www.dickinsoncountyconservationboard.com
under the Programs/Events tab. Registration deadline is 5 PM on January 21st. To find other events, visit
the events page online or follow the Dickinson County Nature Center on Instagram and Facebook.
