July Activities at the Nature Center

Here is a list of the programs we have planned this month at the Nature Center

Saturday, July 29 10-11 am.
Pond Study
Who lives in Bullfrog Pond? You may have seen the ducks, turtles, snakes, and frogs, but did you know there is a whole world of life living in the bottom of the pond. Join us as we search for dragonfly larvae, caddisflies, fish and other neat creatures. Your clothes may get dirty and your shoes may get muddy so dress appropriately. Meet at Bullfrog pond at 10:00 am. Children under 10 must be accompanied by an adult.

July 20 12-1 pm
Camouflaged Critters. Ages 3-5 with an adult.
How many critters can you find hiding in the trees and bushes around Broadlands? Many animals can be well camouflaged with their natural surroundings and may be hard to see. Join us as we learn about our colors and shapes and search for animals outside. We will also read a story and make a special craft to take home.

July 26 10-11 am
Outdoor Scavenger Hunt for Toddlers Ages 2-3 with an adult
In this Scavenger hunt, toddlers will be given a list of things to find both in and out of the Nature Center. We will search both inside and out on the trails for these nature themed objects.


All programs are $5.00 per child and will be held regardless of weather. Please pre-register by calling 703-729-9704 or emailing naturalist@broadlandshoa.com. Minimum number of paid registrations required or class will be canceled.
