- **Event Description**: Join Naturalist Michael Harrison, M.Ed., for a session in our new Stories at Shepard Farm series! The woods might look sleepy in winter, but the trees have their own stories to tell. We’ll read Are Trees Alive?, explore the woods, learn how trees stay strong through the cold, and make a creative art project. It’s sure to be an unbe-leaf-ably fun day!

Stories at Shepard Farm invites families to explore the woodlands, farm, and animals at Dodge through nature-themed stories and hands-on fun. Each session includes inside storytime, an outdoor adventure, and an activity (ranging from art projects to snacks) that connects kids with nature in meaningful ways.

This program is designed for ages 2–5 with one caregiver in attendance. All children in this age range are welcome, though participants will get the most out of the experience if they can walk independently and navigate uneven terrain.

Age: Adults with children ages 2–Pre-K
Cost: $25
