Taking place on I Love My Park Day, Saturday, May 3, 2025, from 1–4 pm at Freedom Park (212 Skidmore Rd), this family-friendly event is the perfect opportunity to inspire curiosity and connect with the community.
Our mission is simple yet impactful: to bring families outdoors and foster connections with nature through hands-on experiences and meaningful interactions. To do that, we need passionate organizations and people like you to help us create a memorable day for all.
Why Participate?
*Be a Part of Something Bigger: Join a network of exhibitors and organizations dedicated to conservation, education, and community engagement.
*Inspire and Educate: Share your knowledge and spark curiosity in young minds (and their grown-ups!)
*Showcase Your Mission: This is a great chance to raise awareness of your work, share your passion, engage with potential supporters, and connect with like-minded individuals.
What Are We Looking For?
We’re seeking interactive exhibits that engage families in fun, hands-on learning. Not sure how you might fit in? Here are just a few ideas:
*Art and Nature: Lead a nature-inspired craft.
*Science in Action: Offer a simple experiment or demonstration.
*Local Wildlife: Share information about local species or habitats.
*Conservation Heroes: Highlight ways families can help the environment in their daily lives.
*Outdoor Adventures: Demonstrate outdoor skills like knot-tying, birdwatching, or compass use.
If interactive activities aren’t an option, information exhibits are equally valuable. Every contribution helps us build a richer experience for attendees! Participation is free to support our shared mission of connecting families with the outdoors.
