Salamonie Preschool offers tree survival lesson

Children ages 2 to 5 and their adults are invited to Salamonie Preschool’s “How do trees survive in the winter?” on Jan. 24.

Children will learn how trees survive in the cold, take a hike (weather dependent) and observe nature.

The class runs from 10 to 11:30 a.m. and again from 12:30 to 2 p.m. at Salamonie Interpretive Center in Lost Bridge West State Recreation Area, Andrews.

Each Salamonie Preschool program is designed to enhance the preschooler’s education, including learning letters, building a craft, social interaction and time outdoors, always with a nature-related theme.

The program fee is $2 per child. Advance registration is appreciated. Register by calling Upper Wabash Interpretive Services at (260) 468-2127.
