Earth Keepers

This event teaches families how to support local wildlife and natural habitats through hands-on learning. You'll discover practical conservation tips—like the benefits of leaving fallen leaves in place and reducing light pollution to help nocturnal animals—all while exploring nature at Lakeside Nature Center. The program includes a guided hike so families can see these concepts in action firsthand. Best for families with school-age children who are curious about nature and want to make a real difference in their community. There's no cost to participate, making it an accessible way to introduce kids to environmental stewardship. Just dress for outdoor conditions and be ready to walk during the hike portion.
