## About

A preschool nature hour at Harris Lake County Park in New Hill. The group reads Fall Leaves Fall by Zoe Hall, takes a short hike to collect fallen leaves, then uses them in a craft celebrating fall foliage. For ages 2–5 with an adult. Only the child registers (the adult does not), and spaces are capped, so book early. Meet at the Cypress Shelter; note the later 11 am start used in fall and winter. Free.
