Evening Nature Walk 5Y+

Enjoy the end of your day with an Evening Nature Walk along the Stevens Creek Corridor starting at McClellan Ranch Preserve. Led by a Naturalist, we will observe the day as it transitions into the evening and learn about the changes which occur in nature during this important time of the day. Learn how to better use all your senses to tune in and give you a greater appreciation for the natural world that surrounds us. Every program will be a new adventure!

Introductory Blacksmithing 13Y+

Learn the basics of safely working with hot metal as you create small items such as a coat hook, gate latch, or gate hinge. Class size is limited to two students in order to maintain proper social distancing and so students will have plenty of hands-on practice and individualized instruction. Information on appropriate clothing for working at the forge, as well as details about recommended eye protection and hearing protection will be sent to students prior to the first class meeting.
