Havenwoods State Forest
Way of the Wild
As detectives in search of clues, the children will investigate the homes, feeding signs, tracks, and other signs of Havenwoods' wildlife. We'll play games, explore, and meet some small animals close up. These activities will help us understand and appreciate the lives of wild animals in the city.
