Registration is now open for the 2025 Summer Nature Series, which offers hands-on outdoor learning and fun at St. Clair County RESA’s Pine River Nature Center. Sessions will be held at the center, located at 2585 Castor Road in Goodells, next to Goodells County Park. Participants should dress for outdoor activities and weather conditions.
Designed for children ages four to grade 6, the programs will allow young explorers to discover the forest, prairie, and wetlands at the Pine River Nature Center through outdoor investigations, interactive games, and nature-themed crafts. Each week will feature a new theme focused on nature discovery and exploration.
