HHV’s Summer Saturdays
Junior Birders Club
Every Other Saturday • 9/12–11/7 9:30–10:30 AM
The Junior Birders Club introduces the fundamentals of birding and basic bird science through age-appropriate lessons and activities designed for kids ages 7 and up. Young learners will build bird identification skills while exploring behavior, habitats, and adaptations.
Each session includes a chance to put these skills into practice through hands-on birding and a short, guided hike.
CompostED Tours 🌱
Friday, Sept 18, 12PM-1PM
Learn. Explore. Experience Compost!
Participants explore what makes the ideal conditions for healthy, aerobic decomposition, take temperatures of our hot compost piles, experience the sights and smells of active compost, and screen finished compost while learning about the microbes that help break down organic matter.
It’s an engaging, hands-on experience that brings compost science to life and leaves participants with a deeper understanding of how compost works—and why it matters for healthy soil, farms, gardens, and our community.
