Pollinator Party
Butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds take center stage at this free drop-in celebration at Hays Nature Preserve's natural playground. Kids will discover why pollinators matter through hands-on activities designed to spark curiosity about the tiny creatures that help flowers bloom and gardens grow. The morning includes educational stations and a nature-themed craft that young naturalists can take home as a reminder of their pollinator discoveries. The event runs from 9am to 11am on Wednesday, June 17, with families welcome to arrive and leave at their convenience — perfect for working around nap schedules or other summer plans. Taking place at the preserve's natural playground, the setting offers plenty of shade and outdoor space for little ones to explore between activities. There's no admission fee, making this an accessible mid-week adventure when summer calendars need filling without draining the budget. While the event welcomes all ages, the activities are especially well-suited for preschoolers through middle schoolers who are building their understanding of ecosystems and nature. Younger siblings will enjoy the playground setting even if the educational content goes over their heads. Consider bringing water bottles and sun protection, as you'll be outdoors during morning hours. For additional details or questions about accessibility, you can reach out to katheleen.theriault@huntsvilleal.gov before the event.
