One of the most fascinating parts of nature is how it changes through the seasons. Let Riverbend take you on this journey with our four-part program that highlights the best features of each season. Choose just one lesson or plan to visit in each season. Perfect for all ages!

Birds of a Feather (Winter):
Not all of our fine feathered friends have migrated away; many stay active throughout the winter months. Join Riverbend Naturalists for a lesson on birds you will be squawking about for days! Addresses standards 4.6 and 4.7

Flowers, Leaves and Growing Green (Spring):
As spring sprouts up, visit Riverbend to observe plants making their debut! Learn about photosynthesis, pollination and how every living organism relies on plants. Addresses standards 4.6 and 4.7

Bugs Abound (Summer):
Warm weather ushers in an active time for our most diverse group of animals, the insects. Compare the insects that live in the stream to the ones in the meadow and forest as we explore Riverbend for these fascinating animals. Addresses standards 4.6 and 4.7

Tall, Tall Trees (Fall):
Fall is all about the trees as they change into jewel-like colors and prepare for winter. Explore the many ways that trees are important to all living things. Addresses standards 4.2, 4.6 and 4.7
