Education Programs
The Ridges Sanctuary, Inc. |
No preregistration is required, and hikes begin at the Ridges Nature Center,
8288 Hwy Q, Baileys Harbor.
The Ridges Sanctuary is an ideal location for a
child's outdoor learning. Here, children (and adults!) can search for dragonfly
larvae in a sedge meadow, examine animal tracks along the beach, and learn about
the appetites of insect-eating pitcher plants and sundews. They can become
animals in an active game of predators and prey, help build a tree model, or
dress up as a bat. All these activities, and many more, are a part of the
Ridges' popular Summer Youth Programs.
