Time
11:00AM - 12:15PM
A yellowed rumped warbler is brown bird with a bright yellow rump perched on a tree branch.
Details:

Pathfinders will create clones from plants as they do vegetative cuttings. They’ll discover how plants have special structures for regrowth that can be used to create entirely new plants. They’ll wrap up by taking their own cuttings to bring home.

What does it mean to be a Backcountry Pathfinder? A Pathfinder is an explorer, someone who respects nature and inspires others through example and leadership. Children ages 8-13 are invited to join our group of Backcountry Pathfinders where they’ll grow skills and become leaders in caring for nature. Participants who complete Pathfinder activities qualify to participate in special events, check-out investigation equipment during their Garden visits and have opportunities where they can utilize their Pathfinder skills to help better the Backcountry.

Check our full calendar for more opportunities for Pathfinders to learn horticulture. 

Pricing:

This event is free with the price of admission, but please note registration is required.
