Nature and Nurture: An Earth Day Celebration at Kanuga
Sunday, Apr 19 from 1 pm to 4 pm

Celebrate Earth Day with our Mountain Trail Outdoor School Instructors and our Newfie dog therapy friends!

Nature & Nurture is Earth Day done the fun way. Spend the day outdoors with Mountain Trail Outdoor School instructors leading interactive, kid-friendly adventures that invite exploration, creativity, and curiosity. Along the way, enjoy special moments with our Newfie therapy dog friends — gentle giants who remind us that time outside heals hearts as well as habitats.

It’s simple: get your hands dirty, breathe deep, meet new friends (two- and four-legged), and celebrate the planet together. Play outside. Learn outside. Heal outside.

This event will have several activity stations for you to explore at your own pace:

Paw-tographs with Oliver the celebrity Newfie

Nature Craft

Meet & Greet some Mountain Trail Outdoor School animal ambassadors, Albert the box turtle and Mingo the corn snake, and Boofus the American Toad

Aqautic Ecology: critter scooping & identification

Nature hike
