Out & About in the Parks

This project is geared towards Cloverbud 4-H members (ages 5-8) and will focus on exposing project members to local regional parks with an emphasis on learning about the ranching and farming history of the East Bay.  We'll be visiting three parks, interacting with park rangers and perhaps getting a behind the scenes tour of the East Bay Regional Park District's fire house in Tilden. This project will not start until the Spring.
