Ranger Paula’s Wild Adventures: Kids 8 and up can join a wild adventure to explore the fascinating world of Boulder’s “herps” – reptiles and amphibians – with OSMP naturalists Jenny Natapow and Dave Sutherland. Find out about all the kinds of snakes that live around here, search for toads and turtles, see if you can find your mate using frog songs, and learn to hike like a snake. Meeting location will be included in your confirmation email. Every hike in the monthly Ranger Paula Wild Adventure series focuses on a different exciting topic. Attend two of these programs and kids are well on their way to completing their Ranger Paula Passport and earning a patch for their backpacks. To receive your patch, submit a completed passport to the Ranger Cottage and take the Ranger Paula Oath of Stewardship! Remember to bring: snacks, water, clothes and shoes that can get wet and muddy (long pants recommended), sun protection, and your sense of adventure!
