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!
August 6 - Drains
Have you ever wondered where the water goes? Come find out how our drains are connected to the environment's health. We will be exploring what happens when humans interact with their environment and how our changes impact the world we live in. We will be learning about the adopt-a-drain program, so know your address to find out where there are drains near you.
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!
