Nature Day

The Tenth Annual Nature Day program will be from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., April 18, 2009. All activities will be at Price Hall and on the trails at the Nature Center, 617 Dunton Road, in Clinton. This year’s program will include fun, food, games, music, and information for the family. Beginning at 8:00 a.m., we will have a plant sale featuring native plants and old time favorites with a special group of hanging baskets. In a new, special feature this year, members of the Jackson Audubon Society will join with the Nature Center in offering a special Urban Bird Day. This will give bird watchers and want-to-be watchers an opportunity to learn more about birds in an urban environment. These events are open to everyone. They are free to members, and non-members are asked to make a donation.
