A free nature exploration program for families led by an Indy Parks naturalist at different parks each Friday.
Urban Forest School is at Skiles Test Nature Park this Friday, October 16, from 11 AM to 4 PM. It's a free nature exploration program for families, led by an Indy Parks naturalist.
The program is part of a larger series that moves around the city: it's held at a different park each Friday, so if you missed the last one, this is your chance to catch it. The whole thing is built around getting kids and parents outside and looking at the natural world together, with a naturalist on hand to lead the way and answer questions as you go. It's a drop-in style of event, meaning you can come for a little while or hang out for the whole afternoon.
Since it's a family program, it's designed for all ages to participate side by side. The focus is on exploration—wandering through the park and noticing the things that usually go overlooked—rather than a structured class. It's a good way to spend a Friday if you're looking for something low-key and outdoorsy to do with the kids.

If you're in the neighborhood on Friday, it's an easy way to get the family out into the woods for a few hours.
