Home School (Ages 9-14): Phabulous Phenology

Aldo Leopold once said “keeping records enhances the pleasure of the search and the chance of finding order and meaning in these events.”  We’ll learn what Aldo meant
when he said this, what phenology is and why it’s important to keep long term
records of seasonal occurrences in nature. We’ll hike the trails, make phenological observations, record them in our journals as well as an online database, and compare our observations to the records kept by the Leopold family. We’ll also get the opportunity to explore ALNC’s Climate Change exhibit and discuss what these records can tell us about our changing climate.Program designed for 4th-8th equivalent or ages 9-14 years old. Please call with questions.

Online registration closes at midnight the night before programming. Walk-in registration accepted if space available. Please call ahead to check availability.
