Spring Hiking
Adventure for April Park P.A.L.S.
Darke County Park District invites children in kindergarten through 2nd
grade to join them on April 15th from 10am to 12pm at the Shawnee
Prairie Nature Center to explore nature’s variety during Park P.A.L.S!
Children will go on a scavenger hunt for critters as the ground starts
to warm and the forest comes alive. They will gently roll logs and pull
back leaves to expose the diversity of life that thrives on the forest
floor. Please remember to dress for the weather.
Park P.A.L.S. is a program 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 $3 fee is charged for the program, and
registration is required. For any questions about the Park P.A.L.S.
program or any other park district programs or to register for the
April class, please call the Nature Center at (937) 548-0165.

small insects and decomposers.
