At Home Nature Adventures
Digital Arboretum
The Arboretum continues to help children and families explore nature-based learning at home. From the scientific to the whimsical, our At Home Nature Adventures offer hands-on activities designed to help kids and families connect to nature and all its magic! Programs can easily be done in any living environment, can be adapted to different ages and skill levels, and simply require nature, some common household materials, and imagination! We will be adding new exciting, activities each month, and would love to see your Nature Adventure results! Share your photos on social media with the hashtags #LAArboretumKids and #LAArboretumAtHome, or email them directly to brooke.applegate@arboretum.org for a chance to be featured in our social media pages.
