Buncombe County -- January 22, 2024: Looking to get your kids outside this winter?

Join us as we walk you through the web-based program, ecoEXPLORE.

In this free event, you’ll learn how to submit photos and complete nature-themed challenges to earn badges and prizes!

This initiative by The N.C. Arboretum includes a different challenge each season that will keep children engaged in learning about nature year-round while also contributing to citizen science.

The theme this winter is ornithology. We’ll explore Charles D. Owen Park’s shores and woods for a variety of feathered friends! Stick around after the program to continue your exploration of the nature trails and playground.

When: February 14, 3:30 – 4:30 p.m.
Ages: 5-10 years; families welcome
Where: Charles D. Owen Park Picnic Shelter; 875 Warren Wilson Rd, Swannanoa. Next to the dock and ball fields. 

For more information, contact Rose Wall and Jen Knight by email: environmental.educators@buncombecounty.org. Please reach out in the case of inclement weather to learn if the program will still take place. 

Look out for more ecoEXPLORE Family Days one Wednesday every other month.
