Forest Friends
Red Oaks first began with a simple plan to commit to regular time in nature, and we blossomed into a variety of opportunities to foster deep and lasting connections to nature with our programming. This program is an homage to that simple beginning.
Forest Friends introduces everyone to the various ecological processes and elements of nature including plants, wildlife, and water. We will also introduce community science projects and do plenty of art. This class invites everyone to explore and to wonder alongside the facilitator. Interesting diversions and discoveries will be part of every session, as participants make observations, ask questions, and have impromptu discussions when curiosity is sparked! By regularly connecting to nature, we all begin to form a bond to the land and each other, fostering compassion for our earth and its inhabitants.
Forest Friends includes child-led exploration on various topics that highlight the diversity of our location. We also include plenty of time for free play in every session.
