Nature in Your Neighborhood

  • Sunday, November 8, 2026, 9:30 AM - 12:30 PM

Attention all families with young children! Did you know you can learn new ways to connect with nature right in your backyard? This new program is a guided experience from Ithaca Forest Preschool staff in various neighborhoods around the area. Discover a local park right near your house and learn nature skills you have never seen before!

A typical morning at this program may include fire building, harvesting, nature crafts, and more. The whole family can learn something new to keep busy outside on both a hot summer day and a cold snowy day.

This program is for pre-school aged children, but older siblings are welcome too!

Our upcoming Nature in Your Neighborhood Session is taking place on Sunday, November 8th, 9:30-12:30, at McDaniels Park at Hook Place, Ithaca, NY.
