Learn how to bring fun & sustainable conservation practices into your own home!
Learn how to bring fun & sustainable conservation practices into your own home! These programs will inspire attendees to reuse and repurpose single-use items to make life at home a little more green. By providing a foundation of environmental mindfulness within your family unit, small practices can lead to big ideas that positively impact our community.
These workshops are suitable for all age groups and are geared toward families & households. Each workshop includes a craft project that you can take home!
This program is offered once a month from 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Each workshop is $6 per person. This program will be held outdoors under our covered pavilion and out on our property.
