Spring Sprouts April 4, 2011

Recapture your sense of wonder as you explore spring at Drumlin Farm. Let's climb the drumlin to look for birds returning from their winter away. Are there tadpoles and other creatures in the vernal pool? Have the rabbits been out nibbling on the new spring grasses? What wildflowers are blooming in the woods? We'll meet some of the animals that share our world and discover what they do in the spring. Each week we will explore spring in a different direction. - - For up to to three children per adult.
