Brown Bag Lunches
|
Brown Bag Lunches provide an informal opportunity to network with others who are also interested in getting children connected to nature. The locations vary throughout the state. They offer participants opportunities to see a variety of facilities and learn more about what we all are doing to get more children outside. These gatherings are an opportunity to network and have casual conversations. Signing up on our website will put you on our invitation mailing for future Brown Bag Lunches.

This is an informal opportunity to network with others who are also interested in getting children connected to nature. All are welcome, bring a friend. Be sure to bring your lunch, we look forward to seeing you there.
Eagle Creek Park Naturalist, Heidi Shoemaker, coordinates the preschool program offerings at the Earth Discovery Center and recently attended the Natural Start Alliance Conference in Manchester, New Hampshire. This conference is considered the nation’s largest professional event focused on nature-based early learning. During this brown bag lunch, you’ll hear about her experience at the conference to see if it is something you would like to attend in the future (hint: it’s headed closer to home in 2020!).
In addition to learning about the conference, Heidi will discuss the variety of early learning opportunities the Earth Discovery Center has to offer and how each one fills its own special niche. Participants are welcome to explore the Earth Discovery Center and the park after this program.
Eagle Creek Park offers two nature centers, so plan to hike (about a mile) or drive to the Ornithology Center after lunch if you want to check out the nature center that focuses on birds.
