Nature Tots is an early childhood program designed for learners ages 2-5 years old, accompanied by an adult guardian (little siblings ages 0-1 are welcome to tag along). A Riveredge Naturalist will focus on outdoor exploration, literacy, physical development, nature intelligence, and social development.

Paddling from WI to the Gulf of Mexico: Mississippi Adventure
with Luke Yourzak
You may recognize Environmental Educator, Luke Yourzak, from teaching around Riveredge, but did you know Luke paddled from Wisconsin to the Gulf of Mexico on the Mississippi River in a canoe he made with friends?
Luke will regale us with tales of the floods and weather, aching muscles, fascinating characters, River Angels, and encounters with other river-going vessels he encountered on the 2,300 mile trip. We will provide light refreshments, and weather permitting, this talk will be held outdoors. Young and old, families and friends, all are invited to experience the story of Luke’s epic and inspiring adventure.
All ages welcome
This program is free for everyone, members and non-members!
