Sally Manzara Interpretive Nature Center

Welcome to this year’s Nature Buddies – Wild Connections Program. It is open to any student 11 years and older who would like an opportunity to learn more about a variety of environmental topics.
This month we are going to discuss what sustainability is, the 3 pillars of sustainability, why it is important and what areas of sustainability that challenge Minnesotans today. We will also explore a couple of footprint calculators and discuss ways that they can be sustainable at home. Our special guest will be a member of the Stillwater Sustainability organization to share about what their mission is and how they bring long-term sustainability awareness to the local community.
Topic: Sustainability!
Friday, November 13th, 1 – 3 p.m.
$12 per student. To sign up your Nature Buddy, follow the link:&nbsp;<a href="https://checkout.square.site/merchant/JBQZ1MPNQJPN3/checkout/GWOOJ2VRNARU2XNJPGGJNMKO" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">checkout.square.site/merchant/JBQZ1MPNQJPN3/checkout/GWOOJ2VRNARU2XNJPGGJNMKO</a>

Nature Buddy Wild Connections Program: Sustainability! (11+)

In this exciting nature program, toddlers will discover the world of wild cats through stories, movement, pretend play, songs, and hands-on activities. We’ll learn about Minnesota’s bobcats—our secretive, spotted forest cats—and compare them with the mighty mountain lion.
We will practice sneaking like a bobcat, stretching like a mountain lion, listening for animal sounds, and discovering how wild cats use their paws, eyes, ears, and whiskers to explore the world around them.
Toddler Tuesdays are a fun way to expose the little ones to outdoor and environmentally based experiences. The first hour will be exploring the theme of the day and the last 20-30 minutes will be a social hour, chatting with old and new friends and investigating all that the nature center has to share!
Ages: 18 months – 5 yrs. old
Fee: $8 per person, this includes per adult and child (Under 17 months are free)
Time:10 a.m. -11:30 a.m.

We did this one two years ago, but skipped it last year–and so many people asked about it that we are forced to bring it back. Bring the whole family and decorate your own turkey shaped cookies. We’ll have the supplies, you can take home what you don’t eat!
This event is open to the public. We’re asking for a $3 suggested donation per person to help us cover that supplies.
