Little Naturalists

Introduce your three- to five-year-old to nature! Trained guides explore topics such as food chains, hibernation, how trees grow and more with three- to five-year-olds and their accompanying adults. The program starts indoors for 20-30 minutes where the children engage with the guides through reading nature centered books and doing a hands-on activity related to the learning in the book. This is followed with a short moderate hike on one of the ICNA trails. Little Naturalists meet  on the second Mondays, third Saturdays, and fourth Thursdays of the month. Gatherings are held from 10:00 to 11:30 am. We prefer that people preregister for these programs. The link to register for the fourth Thursday in September is here. Siblings are also welcome to attend.

Little Naturalists follow the weather cancellation policies for Albemarle County Schools.  When the schools are closed or there is a late opening, the Little Naturalists will not meet on that day.

Ancient Habitat Hike

Expect the unexpected on this walk! As we walk Ivy Creek's habitats in present-day Virginia, we'll take an imaginary journey into the last ice age. What fantastic megafauna walked the earth in Virginia at that time? (Preview: there were beavers the size of bears!) How did they live?  What was the landscape like? Come out with us on October 23 at 1:00 PM and imagine this fascinating time in Earth's history! Space is limited, and registration is required.
