Spring migration is one of the best times to go birding, because you can see birds who pass through Ohio, not just the ones who stay for a season. Join us for a hike through the forest of Harbin Park as we look for these brightly colored visitors. Birders of all skill level are welcome, and a limited supply of binoculars will be available for use.

When winter ends it's time to sheer the sheep and start the process of turning wool into wear. Visit the Pioneer Village for a self-guided tour through the cabins and try your hand at spinning. Educators in period dress will be onsite to give you a hand and answer any questions.

Learn to capture an idea in a photo on this nature scavenger hunt.  Hike with photographer Carole Barnhart and take pictures that represent ideas like spiky, hollow, or fluffy.  Carole will introduce the fundamentals of composing an image in the frame, and then we'll set off on a collaborative quest!
