We are excited to offer monthly Monday meetups for our Nature Explorers across our program sites to get to know one another and connect with other nature enthusiasts beyond our program!
Meetups are free, unless other wise noted, and open to the public.
If you'd like to donate to help keep these meetups affordable for all we will welcome your donation.
Thank you and we hope to see you there!
