Budding Naturalist
At Riverbend we believe in the joy that comes from time spent in nature. Our new program “The Budding Naturalist” seeks to foster a connection with nature for our youngest learners.

Program Overview:
Join Riverbend educators every Wednesday morning starting at 10:30am for a fun, preschool-friendly nature-based program that includes a story, a craft, a nature activity and a “hike” around our preserve. Every week we’ll gather in Riverbend’s Snider Barn to begin the fun!
Program Details:
- This program is one hour each week and is designed for children ages 2-5. A caregiver must accompany each child. Siblings under 2 are welcome at no additional charge.Â
- Two six-week sessions will be offered in the winter and the spring of 2023. The cost is $120 per child for each six-week session. Enrollment is capped at 12 participants. The final meeting of every session will include a campfire and s’mores.
- The winter session begins on Wednesday, January 18, 2023 and runs through Wednesday, February 22, 2023.
- The spring session begins on Wednesday, March 1, 2023 and runs through Wednesday, April 12, 2023. No meeting on Wednesday, April 5, 2023 for spring break week.
