Children and their families can learn about bird nesting on Aug. 15. Lawrence resident John Emmons will teach children how to make bird nests from materials found in the Lawrence Nature Center meadow.
Artist Christina Winka, a Lawrence resident, will host a wreath making class on Aug. 22. She has been making crafts with dried flowers and fruits for over 20 years, and she will teach children how to make wreaths out of similar materials.
On Aug. 29, storyteller Mike Erdie will share stories about the outdoors, ghosts and more around a campfire. Families can roast marshmallows while listening to Erdie’s stories or share their own.
The programs, intended for young children and their parents, are free. Registration is not required, and light refreshments will be served. All programs are sponsored by the Friends of the Lawrence Nature Center. The center is located at 481 Drexel Ave.
