McHenry County Conservation District's spring program offerings are loaded with both indoor and outdoor nature enthusiast adventures.

Explore underwater worlds at a "Creek Peek," take part in a "Birding Blitz," or "hop-in" to know more about "Fabulous Frogs."

People of all ages will enjoy getting outdoors to discover hiking opportunities, hearing nature tales, going on a treasure hunt, or planning for summer at "Paddling the Nippersink" informational night.

Back again are popular programs such as: "Playtime in the Woods" and "Glacial Park Team Challenge." There is something for everyone and most programs are free.
