This six-week program is held Mondays from April 7 to May 12.

Calling all creek freaks! Join Youth Program Coordinator Jenny Houghton with nets, stopwatches, and pH strips to find the answers to some pressing aquatic questions. What is a riparian buffer zone? How are aquatic plants and animals adapted to their watery environment? What is the relationship between precipitation, runoff, and aquatic habitats? Homeschoolers will explore the fascinating world of water through field studies of the Arboretum’s wetland and stream. Classes are designed for students ages 8–12. Come prepared with a folder, paper, a writing utensil, comfortable walking shoes, and clothes that may get dirty. Rain boots or other waterproof shoes are a good idea.

Fee: $55 members, $70 general public ($10 sibling discount)
