From stars to storytelling, September is a busy month at Baltimore Woods
Baltimore Woods Nature Center announces programs for all ages scheduled for September 2019. Details are listed below.
September 12 Stonework Play 10:00-11:30am
Even a stone, one of the simplest forms of nature, can become a powerful resource to connect humans to the natural world and enrich the imagination. International Early Childhood consultant and Stonework Play artist, Diana Suskind will lead us in a creative storytelling activity, inspiring participants to create meaningful stories through contact with nature. Together we will gather stones, using them along with our imagination to construct a story, render a drawing, and write a narrative to be shared with others. Program for adults. $6 for members; $9 for public. Baltimore Woods Nature Center is located at 4007 Bishop Hill Road, Marcellus. Sign up online at baltimorewoods.org.
