DERBY - Connecticut’s Department of Energy and Environmental Protection invites young naturalists to join Miss Tina, an early childhood specialist volunteer with the Kellogg Environmental Center, on an excursion to find and learn about seeds.
The program will be held from 10-11:30 a.m. Aug. 27.
Families and friends will explore the area around the estate and Osbornedale State Park looking for the many types of seeds produced by plants, while learning how a seed works and its special features that help it survive.

Afterwards, join in making a seed mosaic using a great collection of seeds to help young naturalists learn different textures and forms.
The morning fun is designed for children age 4 to 7 with an adult.
Older siblings are always welcome as well as adults with a sense of wonder or a wish to develop their own observation skills.
