PCEI Seasonal Wanderings Family Series: The Wonders of Wildfires

Brought to you in part by Hyperspud Sports, The PCEI Seasonal Wanderings Family Series provides a venue for families to connect with the natural world and each other through outdoor exploration at our Nature Center year-round. Each FREE event will focus on a seasonally relevant topic and how it can be seen or experienced right here on the Palouse. Our programs are hands-on, place-based, and most importantly FUN for all ages! December brings us our last SWFS installation of 2015: The Wonders of Wildfire. Why was it so smoky out here this summer? How do wildfires happen and what do plants and animals do to deal with it? PCEI staff and local fire researcher, Aaron Sparks, will explore these ideas through games, experiments, and demonstrations. Make sure you stick around for a campfire and some marshmallows! Reminders: 1. All interested parties MUST REGISTER for the event as there is limited space available. You can register at: http://www.pcei.org/sw-2015-register/ 2. About half of the program will take place outdoors so please be sure to dress very warmly! 3. This program is absoltely free but we do suggest that you consider making a donation of $3 per person (or whatever contribution you feel you can reasonably make!)
