    It's important for children and adults to learn and
    practice conservation at home and within their communities and
    parks. Join Cleveland Metroparks this summer for the �Kids For
    Conservation� series on four consecutive Thursday evenings - July
    5, 12, 19 and 26 - from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at North Chagrin Nature
    Center in North Chagrin Reservation in Mayfield Village.



    This free children's series provides an opportunity to learn
    important lessons about plants, wetlands and habitats intertwined
    with fun songs about the animals that reside in Northeast Ohio.



    The �Kids For Conservation� series includes the following
    programs:



    Thursday, July 5 � Dr. Wildweed. Spend an hour
    with an old-time herbalist along with lots of audience
    participation. According to Dr. Wildweed, �every plant has a
    purpose, and every plant has a story.�



    Thursday, July 12 � Willie of the Willows. This wetland
    wise man shares the value of wetlands by telling stories and
    singing songs about this fascinating habitat.



    Thursday, July 19 � Professor Horatio Habitat. This wacky
    professor teaches the importance of healthy wildlife habitats and
    shares about Ohio's endangered species through humor, song and
    audience participation.



    Thursday, July 26 � Children's Nature Songs and
    Stories With Foster Brown. Award-winning
    singer/songwriter Foster Brown will have everyone singing and
    learning about the wonders of nature through memorable rhythms and
    rhymes.



    North Chagrin Nature Center is located off Buttermilk Falls
    Parkway, off the Sunset Lane entrance of North Chagrin Reservation,
    off SOM Center Road/Route 91 in Mayfield Village.



    For more information, call 440-786-8530.



    Kids can learn and have fun at the �Kids For Conservation�
    series in Cleveland Metroparks - part of your life,
    naturally!
