BROWNIE BOTANY BADGE OUTINGS
This Watershed Walk was especially designed
for Brownie Groups. Girls learn to identify the native
and non-native plants of the vegetated areas along Walnut
Creek (creek) in Civic Park. We meet at the Civic Park
parking lot near the Orange Bridge and walk to the "River
of Words" Sculpture on Broadway. There is a brief stop
at the Creek Overlook on Lincoln Avenue. The girls will
see where the creek goes underground and learn the well-kept
secret of Broadway Pointe. $5 Student - $75 Minimum.
Set in Stone and other school field trips may be adapted for non-school groups.
