SUMMARY:Wonder Walk
DESCRIPTION:Walk\, wonder\, and grow with us!\n\nJoin WildRoots and the Westerly Land Trust once a month for Wonder Walks\, a guided family hiking series designed to spark curiosity and nurture a lifelong love of nature. Through shared exploration and hands-on discovery\, families will connect with Westerly Land Trust's beautiful natural spaces while building a deeper appreciation for the plants\, animals\, and ecosystems that make each property unique. By fostering curiosity and encouraging stewardship\, we hope to inspire the next generation to care for and protect the wild places around them.\n\nEach session invites children and their families to slow down\, look closely\, and discover the wonder of the natural world together. We begin every program with a thoughtfully selected nature story before heading out on the trails to explore. Children are invited to use tools like bug vacuums\, waders\, magnifying glasses\, and digital microscopes to get a closer look at nature and investigate what sparks their curiosity. Westerly Land Trust and WildRoots guides will lead each adventure\, creating opportunities for exploration while supporting discovery and inquiry.\n\nAugust's Wonder Walk offers a special opportunity to help WildRoots create a whimsical fairy village. As we explore their trails\, children will gather fallen natural materials such as twigs\, pinecones\, acorn caps\, bark\, leaves\, and stones and use their imagination to design and create. This creative activity encourages children to see the beauty and possibilities within nature while practicing respectful stewardship.\n\nClick HERE to sign up!\n\nAbout the Hosts\n\nWildRoots Play is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to creating a community where children and families can nurture connection\, holistic development\, and Earth stewardship through immersive experiences in nature and play.\n\nThe Westerly Land Trust (WLT) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to conserving open space\, revitalizing neighborhoods\, and building community in Westerly\, Rhode Island.
