Workshops, Working to Make Science & Nature Fun for your Little One

HabiTrek Workshops at Charlotte Nature Museum provide an occasion for your child to get outdoors and explore the woods. Youngsters will have the opportunity to understand the richness and delight in the wonder of the natural world.
Winter and its stillness provides opportunities for kids to become detectives on the hunt for tracks and scat, and to learn the story of the sleeping woods.
Each Workshop offers exclusive access to the Museum’s live animals, exhibits and an adventure outside on the Paw Paw Trail. Encouraging your child to explore nature through our HabiTrek Workshops will deliver benefits that include amusement, learning and a life-long love of nature and living things. I hope to see you in the woods . . .

Once a green invader moves into an area habitats are severely changed which affects its ability to support the native plants, birds, insects and animals that once lived there. ... Keep reading.
