Rochester Hills Museum at Van Hoosen Farm is presenting two environmental programs in August

The Rochester Hills Museum at Van Hoosen Farm will be presenting Bees and Butterflies and Nature Journaling in August. Admission is free for Museum members. For non-members, admission is $5 for adults, $3 for students and seniors. Ages 7 and up are welcome.

Bees and Butterflies

Bees and Butterflies will be on August 6 from 11:00 to 12:30 p.m. Bees and butterflies are important pollinators in nature and in our home gardens. Guests will learn about the different kinds of bees and butterflies and how to attract them to their backyard. This program will include fun outdoor games, a snack, and a bee and butterfly hunt.

Nature Journaling

Nature Journaling will be on August 13 from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. This type of journaling has been a hobby and way to connect to nature for hundreds of years. Kings, queens, presidents, scientists, naturalists and maybe even your friends have kept a nature journal. Journal supplies will be provided. These classes will be held outside, so guests are encouraged to dress for the weather and wear hiking shoes.
