The Power of Nature
Why Fresh Air Matters

Shared outdoor experiences not only enhance physical health but also foster emotional connections. By exploring the world around us, families can build lasting memories and instill a sense of adventure and curiosity in children.

Naturalist Nook: Stream Detectives
July 18th
10-12PM
This month, young naturalists will become Stream Detectives as they investigate the hidden world beneath the water’s surface! Participants will explore a local stream to discover macroinvertebrates—the tiny aquatic insects and other organisms that scientists use to measure stream health. Along the way, they’ll learn about stream habitats, identify key indicator species, and uncover what these fascinating creatures can tell us about the quality of our water.
To wrap up the adventure, participants will complete their own Stream Detective Report by identifying the macroinvertebrates they found and using their discoveries to determine whether the stream is healthy, fair, or poor. They’ll leave with a deeper appreciation for freshwater ecosystems and the important role these tiny creatures play in protecting our environment.
This hands-on STEAM adventure is designed for preschoolers through early elementary ages (with a little help from a grown-up) but is engaging and fun for the whole family. Be prepared to get wet as we splash, explore, and discover the amazing life hiding beneath the rocks! 🌿💧🦟

“I absolutely love what Katie has created with Trail Mommas. She brings so much knowledge and experience when it comes to hiking with little ones, and she’s built an amazing community of women who are all about getting outside. I really enjoy hiking with other like-minded women, and I appreciate that some of the hikes are open to dads, too.“

“I’ve enjoyed meeting up with the Trail Mommas group! It’s been great to meet with other moms and families who are just trying to spend some time outside with their kids. My kiddos always look forward to meeting up with other kids to romp around and explore nature with. I’m also learning about all these cool new places to check out nearby from the group!“
