If you're looking for something the whole family can do for free on a Saturday afternoon, join McHenry County Conservation District for a "Lost Valley Venture" from 2 to 3:30 p.m. Saturdays, June 7-28, at Lost Valley Visitor Center in Glacial Park, Route 31 and Harts Road, Ringwood.

This family exploration program includes a nature lesson, game, and activity based around this month's topic: salamanders.

If the weather allows, guests also will go for a short outdoor exploratory hike with staff, so dress for the weather and walking.

No registration is required. All ages are welcome.

Topics change monthly, with butterflies in July and "Pioneer Play" in August.

This program is intended for families and cannot accommodate organized groups.

Youth groups should call Prairieview Education Center at (815) 479-5779 to schedule a program for their group.
