Anoka County 4-H at Springbrook Nature Center
This workshop is targeted for youth in grades 3-9 but all are welcome.
Each month, join Theresa Brostrom for 4-H fun and learning at Springbrook Nature Center in Fridley. Every session we will get out on the trails at Springbrook and explore! This month, we will be looking UP…to the trees for some feathered friends.
What's that I hear? Could it be a red winged blackbird or perhaps a pileated woodpecker? There are some tricks to figuring out what birds are around. Birds are classified by many factors. Come find out a little bit about birds and how to identify them, then we will head out and see what we can hear/see in the park.
The Springbrook Nature Center is a 127-acre park and nature reserve located in Fridley, Minnesota. Springbrook features an interpretive building, over three miles of hiking trails through wooded and wetland areas, and various public shelters if you want to plan a family picnic for after the 4-H outing. If you have more questions about the monthly topic, contact Theresa! Roll up your sleeves and we hope to see you there!
