Kids Nature Detective
Kids Activity
Audience: Ages 5+
Duration: 1 hour
Level: Beginner & beyond
The discovery of nature brings us to blue skies, green grass, and sunshine. As we look at the outdoors we see trees with birds, plants with insects on them, and mud with tracks in it. As we explore the farm, we will be investigating trees, animal tracks, plants, and birds that we encounter on a walk in nature. On this walk you will learn how to walk silently in nature, listen for birds and recognize them by their song, spot animal tracks and learn how to follow them, identify trees and plants by their bark and leaves, and investigate bugs.
Children need to have a paid caregiver present.
Join us for this nature exploration!

Peter M. Hoffman
From an early age Peter learned self-reliant skills from his parents and grandparents, which instilled in him a passion for living off the land. His thirst for knowledge lead him to the Pathfinder School where he continued to develop his primitive and self-reliance skills, ultimately becoming an instructor himself.
Being a lifelong learner, Peter has continued to gain knowledge in herbalism, has created his own permaculture design which includes a blacksmith forge, built his own off grid cabin from recycled materials, an orchard with an integrated pond and watering system, extracted maple sap from multiple forests for maple syrup production, and learned to harvest and make full use of wild game. He has worked with National Geographic and The History Channel, has been published in The Backwoodsman Magazine and has developed his own YouTube channel, Intricate Nature.
