Kids Explore Club
Connecting Children with Nature
Studies show that children who spend time exploring and connecting with the natural world develop crucial observation and problem-solving skills that will be important throughout their school years and beyond. Designed especially for children ages 5-11, the Kids Explore Club provides an innovative way to get children outdoors, connect them with nature, and inspire them to appreciate the living world through various activities and adventures.

Larvae of the emerald ash borer, named for its metallic-green color, feed on the inner bark of ash trees, disrupting their ability to transport water and nutrients. While most of the devastation has been limited to southeastern Michigan, the insect has been found in adjacent locations in Ohio and Indiana. The cost to cities, property owners, nursery operators and forest products industries is in the tens of millions of dollars. To help stop the spread and devastation of the emerald ash borer, several proactive measures are underway. These include various research projects, eradication efforts by state and federal agencies, and quarantines preventing potentially infested trees and wood from moving into uninfested areas. To find out how you can help, contact Kevin Sander at 402-473-9543. |
