    Small children are drawn to creative play, nature
    exploration and trying new things.  And, Cleveland Metroparks
    not only welcomes children, ages 2 to 6, and their families, but
    encourages them to explore, play, learn and more at the free
    �Knee-High Naturalists� event on Sunday, June 24 from noon to 4
    p.m. at the Arboretum in South Chagrin Reservation in
    Bentleyville.



    �Knee-High Naturalists� focuses on children, ages 2 to 6, and
    their families to discover the wonderful world of the great
    outdoors.  Children can play and learn all afternoon with
    nature games, make nature crafts, play in the �discovery sandbox,�
    high-five the roving chipmunk, play in a pond playground and an
    Earthboat, meet a naturalist, and more. 



    Visitors can learn about nature the �fun way� by playing on the
    habitat felt board, and new this year, catch a live crayfish.



    Plus, kids take a hike with �Nora� the Explorer!



    There will be photo opportunities, too.  Adults should be
    sure to bring cameras to capture the lasting memories.



    Light refreshments will be available for sale at the event.



    Parking for the event is at The Shelterhouse Picnic Area,
    located off Hawthorn Parkway, east of SOM Center Road/Route 91 in
