7th Annual Take A Child Outside Day

Arcata Marsh and Wildlife Sanctuary

Meet lizards and snakes! Zoom in on pond water! Make a harmonograph drawing! Take a silent walk to a bird roost! Take A Child Outside Day is a festival of fun outdoor exploration for kids and their caregivers. From 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, October 5 a wealth of local environmental educators will offer nature-based activities, games, and crafts along the Arcata Marsh’s 0.6 mile Log Pond Loop Trail (beginning at the Interpretive Center). Kids are invited to fill their “eco-passport” by adventuring along the trail with their adults and participating in these activities, returning it when complete for a nature-themed prize. Additionally, teachers and school staff are invited to attend and learn about field trips, in-class presentations, environment-themed curriculum and other opportunities for their students at each station. Meet representatives from local organizations offering environmental education resources in the Arcata Marsh Interpretive Center and sample activities along the Log Pond Loop Trail. Activities and environmental education resources will be offered by Nature Joe’s, Sequoia Park Zoo, Redwood National and State Parks, California State Parks, Save the Redwoods League, HSU Natural History Museum, Friends of the Arcata Marsh, Humboldt Bay National Wildlife Refuge, Redwood Region Audubon Society, Schatz Energy Research Center, HSU Aquatics Center, 4 R Planet, Humboldt Waste Management Authority, Northcoast Environmental Center, ASK ME Science & Media, Bureau of Land Management, Redwood Chapter of Environmental Educators and Interpreters, and more!
