Riveredge educators lead the group through the conservancy, a 145-acre preserve joined to Royal Oaks Park, with wetlands, open water, native hardwood forest, a red pine plantation, tallgrass prairie and glacial landscapes that shelter more than 300 plant species and over 200 bird species. Expect a mix of guided exploring and hands-on nature activities suited to whatever the November evening offers; on a 5 p.m. start it will be getting dark, so bring flashlights and dress for cold, wet ground. All ages are welcome, so preschoolers through teens can come with a parent, and every child must be accompanied by an adult 18 or older. The program is free, with donations appreciated, but pre-registration is required by 11:59 p.m. on November 11. ## Similar picks in Milwaukee - [Nature Wizard Club for Families: Talking Turkey](https://grassyknees.com/milwaukee/activities/nature-wizard-club-for-families-talking-turkey--listing-fbeed939ad7ddea519778907) — Sun, Nov 15 · 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM · Wehr Nature Center, Franklin · Ages 6–11 · From $7 · checked Oct 24.
