Join families exploring the forest on the weekend in Essex County, NJ!

All ages, all weather, all abilities welcome!

Expect a pace and rhythm of the children that attend, through
unstructured, free play. Watch as the benefits, the magic, and fun of
playing in the forest unfolds!

WHEN: Saturday, August 19 10:15 AM
We plan to meet every third Saturday (1 week in the woods, 2 weeks elsewhere and then back in the woods), the next one will be Saturday September 9.

WEATHER : We meet in all weather unless its storming and thundering!

WHAT TO BRING AND WEAR: Be prepared for water play, including shoes
that you are willing to get wet and dirty. It is highly suggested to
bring a change of clothes for the ride home! More tips:

LEADER: Yarrow - email: yarrowworld(at)gmail(dot)com
Still looking for a co-leader to make the Saturday meet ups a more
regular occurrence.

LOCATION: South Mountain Reservation, Tulip Drive 64 Cherry Lane, West
Orange, NJ 07052 (as you enter Tulip Drive be sure to turn right to
find the parking lot by the picnic tables and creek).

On a typical Saturday at Tulip Springs, the children start with some
water play as the group assembles. Then, we venture into the forest
for a hike and some light orienteering. We end at a brook (get wet?!),
which is usually a good time for a snack or lunch.

Tick prevention!
