Wild Things is an educational morning at a Bellingham Park, designed for kids 0-6 years old and their adults. Wild Things takes place Fridays & Saturdays from 9:30am-11:00am.
From the Wild Whatcom website:
In September, we discover colors in leaves that have been hiding until just now, mysterious mushrooms popping up in unexpected places, perhaps even memories from your childhood triggered by the scents of autumn in the air. There is so much happening both under our feet and at the surface this time of year.
Program is FREE, but there is a suggested donation of $10 per person, $20 per family.
