Tiny worms often go unnoticed under our feet - but their constant work in breaking down organic matter makes a huge impact on the health of our soil. Today's Little Tykes Family Nature Program focused on gardening - plant anatomy, planting seeds, and playing in the dirt that makes our lunch! Our worm bin was a highlight for students; they felt the silkiness of worm castings, found worm eggs, and watered our garden with worm tea!
At Placer Nature Center, we bring the hidden world of worms and soil to light. Through hands-on programs, composting education, and soil stewardship, our staff and volunteers help visitors understand how healthy soil is essential for everything - from native plants and wildlife to our own food systems.
As Big Day of Giving approaches on Thursday May 7, we invite you to get your hands in the dirt! Your support helps us sustain these programs, care for our gardens, and create more opportunities for kids to connect with the world below their toes.
Join us in connecting our community to nature - one handful at a time.
