## About

At this autumn craft program at Shelby Bottoms Nature Center, children ages 7 and up head outside with staff to collect a few fallen leaves around the nature center, then seal them between sheets of wax paper to take home. The preserved leaves can become bookmarks, scrapbook pages, nature-journal entries or anything else kids dream up. The program runs from 1 to 3 pm on Saturday, November 7, and pairs well with a walk on the Shelby Bottoms greenway. Registration is required by calling or emailing the nature center.
