Ever wonder how to survive in the wilderness or curious about some cool tips for camping? Join us at the next Nurture Nature Series on February 2 when Baytown Nature Center Naturalist, Crissy Butcher demonstrates the five basic skills: fire, shelter, signaling, food/water and first aid. Hiking safety will also be covered for those interested in short day trips, as well as extended trekking. This two hour program from 10 am – noon is for outdoor enthusiasts looking to enhance their experience with essential information.
For more fun and realism, participants have the opportunity to act out a scenario showing how they would deal with specific survival situations.
After Nurture Nature, stay to enjoy all the nature center has to offer: fishing, picnicking, hiking, birding and more. Take advantage of the Gulf Coast winter and make a day of it!
