Farm Squad (Ages 5-10) | Barlow Nature Preserve
Family Events
Join us for 10 FREE programs of Farm Squad Fun at Barlow Nature Preserve!
Each Tuesday and Thursday for 5 weeks, we will gather at
Barlow Nature Preserve
(home to
Frontier Farm
,
Echo Rock Flowers
, and WLT’s pollinator and children’s garden), to explore the fascinating world of farming and the environment. Together, we’ll dive into hands-on topics like planting, pollinators, soil health, farm biodiversity, harvesting, composting, microgreens, and hydroponics.
But the adventure doesn’t stop there! We’ll get creative with nature-inspired art, stretch our legs on guided hikes, discover nature-themed stories and literature, and even taste our way through the farm for a full sensory experience.
Throughout the summer, we’ll also welcome local scientists, farmers, and environmental stewards who will share their inspiring work in our community, showcasing real-world environmental careers and sparking curiosity and inspiration in the next generation of changemakers.
Tuesdays & Thursdays: June 30 - July 30 (10 total programs) 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM.
