Join Naturalist Hannah for a lively, hands-on adventure series where each month becomes its own little exploration! For two fun-filled hours, you’ll dive into a new section of Wild Ohio’s Wildlife Journal—with a fresh theme every time. Expect a mix of indoor and outdoor activities like creative writing, sketching, short hikes, and up‑close nature demonstrations. The program is free, and your journal is included; just give the office a quick call at 419‑892‑2784 each month to save your spot. We’ll meet in the Visitors Center. Great for ages 8 and up, grown‑ups are absolutely welcome! Please dress for the weather. Part 1 kicks things off with an introduction to the journal. You’ll get to know some of Ohio’s most common species and discover what we might find right here on the farm. We’ll craft a mini collage of our favorite local animals and insects, explore different habitats, and learn simple ways to create wildlife‑friendly spaces in our own backyards. Then we’ll head outside for a hike to search for native plants and animals in the wild. Following parts in the series are: Magical Transformations-Toads and Bugs; Butterflies & Pollinators; Birds! & Purple Martins with Gary; It’s a Wonderful World, Adaptations & Journaling in the Fall and Winter.
