April 17, 2019

Celebrate Mother’s Day in the Great Outdoors!

Join us for a nature walk and explore the Clearpool Model Forest and its ecosystems. Learn about spring wildflowers, stormwater management and much more. Our educators will even introduce you to a tool to help identify species local to this area.

About the Walk

This guided walk is moderate and will be punctuated by periods of observation and discussion. It is appropriate for ages 7 and older. It’s also perfect for those looking to get outside, experience something new and spend the day with family.

Please be mindful that the walk takes place over moderate terrain. Bring enough water to last the full duration and wear outdoor-appropriate clothing and footwear. Registrants will be notified of any changes via email. A reminder email will be sent prior to the event.

This event is free and open to the public.

Advanced registration is required—spots fill fast!

The walk will begin promptly at 2:00pm—please make arrangements to arrive by this time.

Sampson

Sampson is a mixed-breed sheep that came to Green Chimneys when he was just a few weeks old. He was bottle-raised by the children and, as a result of their love and care, has become one of the most trusting and gentle sheep at the barnyard. Each spring, Sampson is sheared to keep him comfortable through the hot summer months, and the children sell yarn made from his wool at the Green Chimneys Country Store.
