Fresh Air Moments

Our education staff has been creating nature and science-related videos and podcasts. These posts are intended to be interactive, shared, and to be a resource for all people. “Fresh Air Moments” are our way of encouraging everyone to take a moment outside everyday – on your porch, in your backyard, walking on the sidewalk, or on local trails like here at the Highlands Center. https://highlandscenter.org/fresh-air-moment-2/
