Those in the developmental disability community can learn more how to become a wildlife detective this month during a special program just for them at Big Creek Park’s Meyer Center.
Geauga Park District will host Inclusive Experience: Wildlife Detectives on Tuesday, February 25, from 10:30 to 11:30 AM, during which a naturalist will lead the group in discovering some amazing animal clues and trying to decipher who they belong to!
Registration is required for all participants, including caregivers, at www.geaugaparkdistrict.org under Programs & Events, then February 25 on the calendar, or by calling 440-286-9516. Note that the building is fully wheelchair accessible, and will remain open after the program for anyone wishing to bring a packed lunch and socialize.
“Exploring Nature is a lot of fun, but it can be a little intimidating for some visitors,” Naturalist Nora Sindelar said. “That’s why we started offering exclusively inclusive programming, which provides a quiet, calm environment to help certain groups of park users join in on the fun. In the past, we’ve offered these kinds of programs to particular school trips and other groups, but a couple years ago we started presenting inclusive programing to the general public. Needless to say, we’re having a lot of fun doing these and exploring the different ways we can all learn and explore.”
For more on Geauga Park District offerings, please call 440-286-9516 between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. or visit Geauga Park District online via www.geaugaparkdistrict.org, Facebook, X, Instagram or YouTube.
