A quiet moment from our Nature Out Loud No School Day spent listening to the river flow.

At our Nature Out Loud No School Day- we went on a nature walk and paid attention to the sounds of nature, experimented with instruments, and sang songs. This day was definitely an opportunity to let loose; to play in the trees and have fun in the sun with our peers.

Our Mighty Mamas Green Start Play Day last Tuesday - led by our amazing Beth Stein. We explored all around the Learnscape on a scavenger hunt, sang songs, told stories and made our own bird nests!

Alton Baker Park School Walks program this week! This was an afternoon packed full of activities. We studied pond life, learned about dandelions, sang water cycle songs, and soaked up the sun. School walks are a great opportunity for kids to experience nature from our wonderful volunteer guides!

A look into last Friday with our Wonder Keepers Preschool! On this sunny day we explored all around, walking secret paths, checking out native plants and smiling all along the way.

Nearby Nature hosted students for a community service day during Earth Week. With the Network Charter School students and Land Steward volunteers' help, our garden stays lush and the plants stay happy! 🌸

Wish us luck! Network Charter School students (and Nearby Nature yurt class regulars) are representing at The Oregon Envirothon today! (With advisor Wendy McKenzie ) This is a statewide Environmental Science competition at The Oregon Gardens and sponsored by OFRI. Beautiful day and fun to be had!

A look into what's growing at the Nearby Nature site. We at Nearby Nature love to stop and smell the flowers, and learn about them too!

Unique moments from Wonder Keepers preschool where kids interact with and learn about nature hands on!
