Event Details

Join us for a fun craft where we will gather objects from nature to glue on paper and create unique animals, then discuss some adaptations they might need to survive and thrive in a TN forest.


This program will take around 30-45 minutes and all ages are welcome and encouraged, but children under the age of 12 must be accompanied by an adult. Bug spray is recommended, as we will be near wooded areas and may walk through taller grass/weeds.
