Project Overview

Como developed Lil’ Explorers as a free, weekly program series that would attract our youngest guests for perhaps their first introduction to education experiences. With interactive hands-on programming and live plant/animal visitors, the programs are designed to encourage family learning and foster early environmental awareness. Our hope is that this positive learning experience will foster a lifelong appreciation for living plants and animals.
