A variety of activities will be scheduled throughout the day, including bird and nature walks, a rain barrel workshop, and even a rain garden planting! This will be a family friendly event with activities from for kids and adults to explore the wonder of nature here in own our backyard.

PVAS will be there hosting a bird walk from 8am-10am, and then during the event we will have kids game (with prizes!), scavenger hunts, a guided nature walk at 12:00, and a special tree planting at 1:30pm in memory of Clark Dixon, one of the founding members of Potomac Valley Master Naturalist (PVMN).
