Jamestown, N.Y. – You and the 3-8 year old child(ren) in your life can learn about Seeds, Nuts, and Berries at Audubon Community Nature Center’s (ACNC) Little Explorers, Saturday, September 11, 2021, 10-11:30 a.m.
Oak trees, sunflowers, and blackberries all grow from seeds. They also all produce seeds, although they come in different forms.
Each seed has a unique shape that helps it get what it needs to survive, move to a more favorable growing space, or protect itself from the environment and the animals that may want to eat it, especially in the fall and winter.
Learn what resources seeds need to grow and the ways that seeds can disperse, or move, to new areas to get enough of those resources.
After a short lesson learning more about the many shapes and sizes of seeds, participants will go outside to explore and look for different kinds of seeds and figure out how they move or if they are used by animals.
A snack is provided after the hike and a craft is offered if there is time.
The fee for the program is $8 for adults, $6 for children ages 3 – 8 and Nature Center members.
Enrollment is limited to 15 children, 30 participants total.
Make reservations by Thursday, September 9, 2021, by calling (716) 569-2345 during business hours or by clicking here and selecting “register” under the corresponding program listing.
Sponsored by Univera Healthcare, Little Explorers is presented on the second Saturday of every month, 10 – 11:30 a.m.
