Junior Naturalists Club meetings on hold due to COVID-19
In light of the evolving situation around novel coronavirus (COVID-19), we have made the decision to put our Junior Naturalists Club meetings on hold. The JNC's leaders will assess the situation meeting by meeting, but we can say for sure that the March 21 and April 4 meetings will not take place. In terms of make-up meetings, the group leaders will formulate a plan once we know how many meetings we have missed. Registered participants will receive updates by email. Thank you for your understanding.
The Riverwood Conservancy’s Junior Naturalists Club (JNC) is now accepting students for its 2020 Spring (March – June) Semester. The JNC gives kids from Grades Three to Eight the chance to explore the wilderness, connect with nature, and learn skills they can put to use everywhere they go.
