Join LandPaths, in partnership with Ag + Open Space, at Healdsburg Ridge Open Space Preserve for an afternoon dedicated to celebrating children!
The Sonoma Environmental Education Collaborative (SEEC) will be hosting and celebrating Día Del Niño, or Day of the Child. Many countries around the world celebrate children through an annual holiday. In Mexico, Day of the Child takes place each year in April, and it’s a big deal! Many parents buy their children a gift, and schools hold big celebrations complete with games, music, performances, piñatas, and outings. Parks, restaurants, and sporting facilities hold special celebrations as well.
In celebration of our community’s children, environmental education sites throughout Sonoma County will host a wide variety of FREE activities. Each site will provide different opportunities for children and adults to engage with the outdoors, highlighting the work that participating SEEC organizations do throughout Sonoma County. Activities will include nature crafts, visits with animals, bug catching, family nature walks, bird watching and so much more!
- Meet baby goats from Redwood Hill Farm! (And maybe feed them milk from a bottle!)
- Drink some goat milk Kefir!
- Free ice cream from the Umpqua Bank ice cream truck!
- Check out what’s swimming and creeping and hopping around Fox Pond!
- Enjoy a self-guided “Quest” through the property — following clues that lead you on an exciting path around the property ending at the treasure box.
