River Buddies Weekend Explorers - Fur, Feathers, and Scales 

The River Parkway Trust invited you and your pre-K or K aged explorers to join us for a Saturday morning adventure learning about fur, feather, scales, and the creatures that call the San Joaquin home!

During the two-hour long session, your Weekend Explorer will:

-Take a guided nature walk around the Hidden Homes Trail and explore the River Center site

-Enjoy a story, song, and hands-on learning about body coverings for different creatures and how they relate to the animal's habitat

- Make a "snake-skin" bandana craft to take home
