The City of Fargo Forestry and Audubon Society will be on hand to demonstrate how trees are important in parks for shade, animal, and bird habitats.

There will be nature arts and crafts, activities and a lite snack available for everyone, while supplies last.

It’s a celebration of the national Kids to Parks Day with fun and nature exploration!

Nature Adventure hosted by the Fargo Parks District goes hand in hand with Kids to Parks Day – a national day of play that connects kids and families with their local parks and public lands. By exploring, kids learn about park stewardship, outdoor recreation, and participate in STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) activities. The activities foster future outdoor enthusiasts and create the next generation of park stewards and caretakers of our important parks.

Explore outdoors, the parks are yours
