Ecosystems Exploration
April 6, 2021 
from 1-4pm

Now that spring is in full swing, let’s see how the ecosystems at Baltimore Woods are waking up! Forests, streams, ponds, and meadows are beginning to transform in different ways. As we explore each ecosystem, who do you think we will see out and about?

Ready, Set…Grow!
April 13, 2021 
from 1-4pm
There are signs of spring galore here at The Woods! This week we’ll peruse the preserve observing the emerging wildflowers and mushrooms. What triggers these organisms to start growing again? Through activities and games we’ll discover the science behind the signs of spring.
Amphibian Friends
April 20, 2021 
from 1-4pm
Who is that under the log? It’s been a while since we’ve seen them but our amphibian friends are back! This week we will learn all about the frogs, toads, and salamanders living here on the preserve and the crazy adaptations that make them who they are. Get ready to observe some amazing amphibians!
Ponds and Streams
April 27, 2021 
from 1-4pm
At this time of year the water sources here at The Woods are gaining new life! To support all that life do you think the water in our streams and ponds needs to be clean? This week we’ll sample our ponds and streams to learn what the animals can teach us about water quality.
