Special Programs
As our green spaces transform into a Winter wonderland, EarthWorks continues to venture into the forest to bring families and students more opportunities to engage in one-of-a-kind nature curriculum, environmental experiences, and wilderness programs. Each activity funds larger community initiatives around urban outreach, youth development, and personal wellness, so thank you for your support! Get introduced to our mission, programs, and guides during any of these upcoming programs.
