Nature Paks

Nature Paks are backpacks full of easy, fun nature activities for families, teachers, grandparents, mentors, babysitters, and childcare groups to explore nature with their favorite kids. Materials work best on preserves or at local natural areas and parks, but they are also perfect for your very own backyard. The Paks were designed to make learning about and teaching nature simple and fun. To borrow a Nature Pak, call the Conservancy office to see if one is ready for loan. Paks are available on a 3-day loan period. If a pak is available, just stop by the Conservancy and yours will be waiting for you to sign out! Conservancy office: 231-347-0991, open 8-5 Monday through Friday.
