Forest Explorers

Every Wednesday and Friday (except holidays), June-August

10:00 AM – 1:00 PM
Free

Hey kids, get ready to explore the great outdoors all summer long! Discover local ecology, your artistic side, and how good it feels to splash around in the creek at our Forest Explorers summer program.

Our sessions will take place every Wednesday and Friday (except holidays) from 10 am to 1 pm, June through August…and a few special sessions thrown in throughout the summer! Forest Explorers is free, open to all, and includes a snack time.

Last year, we saw snakes, frogs, salamanders, rare parasitic plants, an owl, and more. We played on the slack line, frolicked in the forest, and made DIY bird feeders…and this year, we’ll have double the amount of activities!

Parents, join your kids twice a week as they participate in hands-on learning at our nursery and dive into woodland adventures. ROF founder and director, Jeff, and nursery manager and educator, Audrey, will lead our intrepid crew on hikes, creek walks, and fun nature crafts for everyone to enjoy.

All ages are welcome at Forest Explorers, with infants through 6th grade being the most frequent range. Space is limited, so please register in advance for each session. We will have Forest Explorers twice a week…feel free to come to one, a few, or all of the days!

We will meet at the Forest Exploration Center & Native Tree Nursery, which is right next to the Maple Syrup Lodge in Brady’s Run. Use the Maple Syrup Lodge address, and you won’t miss our greenhouse, pavilion, and green office building on the left of the Lodge:

526 Brady’s Run Road, Beaver Falls, PA 15010

Parents and guardians, please accompany your children. This event is FREE and open to all. Forest Explorers will take place every Wednesday and Friday from June 3rd to August 21st. We will NOT have a session on Friday, June 16.

Tree & Plant ID Hike

Tuesday, July 21

1:00 PM – 3:00 PM
Free

Take a hike with us and learn how to identify trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants throughout Brady’s Run!

On our guided hike, we’ll look at key differences between plant species and point out ways to begin differentiating them from one another.

This event is open to all ages and all identification-knowledge levels.

Directions to our events

All our events meet at the Forest Exploration Center & Native Tree Nursery in Brady’s Run Park.

We are adjacent to the Maple Syrup Lodge, 526 Brady’s Run Rd, Beaver Falls, PA 15010.

When you get to the park, we are one mile past the Rt. 51 entrance. You will turn left onto a little bridge and the Lodge will be in front of you. Turn left before the Lodge and drive on down to our greenhouse and our office building and pavilion (both are green).
