Lehigh Gap Nature Center is launching the Budding Naturalist Book Club - a new interactive nature club for children ages 4-6, on Sept. 28.

The club will meet at 10 a.m. every other Thursday to provide a nature-themed story time and educational activity. Binoculars, butterfly nets, art supplies, and other materials will be provided for the outdoor adventures and crafts that accompany each program.

Themes will celebrate the natural wonders unique to each month of the year. Themes will include: bird and butterfly migration, animal tracks, trees and leaves, pollinators, butterflies and caterpillars, pond life, digging in the soil, flowers and owl pellets.

The club is free and open to the public.

Meetings take place in the nature center’s research library. Reply to bit.ly/LGNCBuddingNaturalists.
