At Maine Audubon’s Gilsland Farm in Falmouth, Maine on Saturday, May 16th 9:30 - 12:30 🐞

A special thank you to our community partners for helping make this event happen: Maine Audubon, The Children's Nursery School, Book Fairy Pantry Project, Ketcha Outdoors, TimberNook of Greater Portland, Maine (Bedrock Play), Girl Scouts of Maine, Baby Roots Maine, Community Doulas, Greater Portland Health, Creekside Hollow, Love Lab Studio, & La Leche Leage of Portland, Maine 🐛

At we often play 1,2,3, JUMP! from our toddler height . When we opened up the this spring we had to admit that one of our favorite stumps for this activity - due to its size (10" tall by 36" diameter) was 'all used up' 😕 As fate would have it, Alyson's grandmother had to remove the oak tree from her yard this spring that Alyson swung from as a child! The old oak with 47 tree rings LIVES ON at Baby Roots Nature Camp as our new 1,2,3 Jump Stump! 🤩
If you have any hardwood trees removed from your yard, we are always looking for fresh stumps that are wider than they are tall, for example, 18 inches tall and 24+ inches wide, send them our way! There are still a few spots left in the May Nature Camp Sessions! 🐝🦋🐞🐌🐿️🍄🐚🪺🌻
