February Park
P.A.L.S. Ask: Is it Spring Yet?
Darke County Park District invites children in kindergarten through 2nd
grade to join them on February 13th from 9:30am to noon to search for
signs of spring during Park P.A.L.S! This month everyone will meet at
the Nature Center on St. Rt. 502 west of Greenville to prepare for the
coming spring. Students will check the nest boxes at Shawnee Prairie to
ensure they are ready for spring inhabitants and check the woods for
early spring wildlife or flowers.
Park P.A.L.S. is a series of monthly programs designed for students of
this age group who are interested in nature. P.A.L.S. stands for
Practicing And Learning Stewardship, and its mission is to develop
future earth stewards through meaningful educational opportunities and
hands-on experiences in the natural world. A fee of $3 is charged for
the program, and preregistration is required. For any questions about
the Park P.A.L.S. program or any other Park District programs or to
register for the February class, please call the Nature Center at (937)
548-0165.
