Join us at Tower Grove Park to bring a little bit of nature into your home this holiday season! We’ll learn about some common backyard birds and then create a felt bird that can be turned into an ornament or hanging decoration.
We will be hand sewing, so please let the instructor know if any accommodation is needed. All materials and hot cocoa will be provided.
Please register each participant separately.
Crochet is a great hobby to connect with nature whether crocheting outside in nature, or crocheting a nature project! At this Nature Crocheters session, we will be crocheting holly leaves and berries that can be made into an ornament, hanging decoration, or even a keychain. Before we begin our leaves, we’ll learn about Missouri’s native hollies and the benefits they provide to wildlife.
The All About Trout program is exactly what it sounds like... Its everything to do with trout!
We will cover what trout are, where they come from, what makes them special, techniques to catch them, where you can catch them, and many other trout related topics!
We will be fishing in the winter weather so please dress appropriately for the elements.
All gear is provided!
Come wet a line this winter and learn about a species that is adored all over the planet!

When you visit Powder Valley keep a watchful eye as you will likely catch a glimpse of a white-tailed deer. Managing the deer population has been a focus of the Missouri Department of Conservation since its founding in 1937, shifting over the decades from protection to active population control. This month’s book The Age of Deer: Trouble and Kinship with our Wild Neighbors, by Erika Howsare discusses all aspects of our relationships, such as ecology, poetry, pop culture and anthropology. What interactions with deer have you had? Come and share your experiences.
