If you’re seeking a fun, outdoor activity this week, look no further than Worcester’s Elm Park. The Broad Meadow Brook Wildlife Sanctuary is sponsoring a “Neighborhood Nature” program that offers children the opportunity to learn about Worcester’s wildlife through teaching sessions with wildlife specialists, nature walks, stories, crafts, and other activities.

Suitable for children of all ages, the program is free of charge and does not require registration. It will run on Wednesdays from 1:00 – 4:00 pm and Fridays from 10:00 am – 1:00 pm.

Green Hill Park’s “Neighborhood Nature” will feature canoeing on the pond. Canoes, paddles, personal floatation vests, and basic canoeing instruction are provided. The program runs on Fridays from 2:00 – 5:00 pm, and is open to children ages 6 and up. An adult must accompany children and swimming skills are required. There is no charge and drop-ins are welcome.

For more information on both programs contact:
