Kids Nature Club
The Food Forest Nature Club is a seasonal Saturday program designed to immerse children in hands-on, nature-based learning. Rooted in holistic values, the club nurtures wonder, community, and stewardship through practical skills, storytelling, and meaningful contribution. Each season is a new journey, aligned with what's growing in our forest and what the land is asking of us.
