It is the first day of Spring so let’s get outside and enjoy it!  Join the Friends of the Lawrence Nature Center as we celebrate the arrival of Spring 2012 by taking a brief hike around the nature center and Drexel Woods.  We will search for the telltale signs of spring such as: skunk cabbage breaking ground and pushing up through leaf litter, a mourning cloak butterfly flitting about the edge of the forest, or some of our breeding birds preparing for the upcoming nesting season.

This program will be from 6:30 p.m. to approximately 7:30 p.m.  Children must be accompanied by an adult.  Dress appropriately for the weather conditions; boots are highly recommended.

Registration is required.  Please call the Lawrence Township Recreation Department at (609) 844-7067 to register.
