Knee-High Naturalists is a nature program just for the little ones, 3-5 years old. The group meets the second Wednesday of every month (Sept-Nov & Jan-April) at Talahi Lodge. Young naturalists go on an interpretive hike (as weather permits), enjoy a craft and snack, and get to take home a book at the end of the day.

Because supplies are limited, parents must register by phone no later than the Friday before the Wednesday sessions. The cost is $5 per child, which can be paid when you arrive. Unfortunately, walk-ins cannot be accommodated. Older siblings are welcome to attend, but may not be able to participate in all activities.

Each session is limited to ten (10) kids. To register, or for questions, please call (618) 466-9930 or email info@TheNatureInstitute.org.

Each day has two sessions:
Morning session from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m.
Afternoon session from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m.
