Join us each and every Saturday at the Trailside Nature Center for a variety of nature themed programming. All free – and FUN! All programs either meet or take place at the Trailside Nature Center.

February:

February 1 – Groundhog Day! Come on out of hibernation and head to Trailside for a talk and activities about groundhogs and Groundhog Day, just in time for the celebrations tomorrow! Learn a little about the history of Groundhog Day, why we celebrate it, and of course some fun facts about our favorite furry friends!
February 8 – Valentine Bracelets Scrambling for a Valentine’s gift? We’ve got you covered! Join us in making a Josephine knot bracelet, a symbol of love and interconnectedness. We’ll also learn a little bit about fiber arts and their history in the Cincinnati area!
February 15 – Love is in the Air ...and sea and earth! Join us to learn all about the cutesiest things animals do to show their sweetheart they care, from the Canada goose to the coyote! Afterwards, we’ll take a short hike around the park to hopefully spot some lovebirds!
February 22 – Fabulous Furs Come learn all about the work of nature’s finest fashionistas, from the waterproof and warm fur of a beaver to the flashy, fierce warning colors of a skunk! We’ll design our own animal (should we go for bold and showy or quiet and camouflaged?) and get to touch some of the softest furs around!
