Mingle with nature
Kids of all ages are invited to join Washington State University’s Snohomish County Extension faculty and staff for the fourth annual Forest and Wildlife Fun Day.
This outdoor field day is planned from 4 to 8 p.m. July 27 at McCollum Park, 600 128th St. SE in Everett. The event is free and food will be provided, but participants are asked to register.
The Forest and Wildlife Fun Day will allow kids (and their parents) to explore nature, including excursions to explore the forest, searching for critters in old logs, geocaching, marine life-themed arts and crafts, and examinations of bugs, animal skulls, and other interesting parts of the natural world.
Kids will get to make origami cups in which to grow lettuce.
Learning, having fun, and getting dirty are all encouraged at the Fun Day.
