Overview
The Festival of the Wild Child – MMLT’s most popular event – is back this year! This fun-filled family event is taking place at High Lonesome Nature Reserve in Pakenham on Saturday, August 19th (August 20th rain date).
This year’s theme is “Sharing the Wild Life” and we want to share some amazing nature experiences with you and your family. Join us for a variety of activities including scavenger hunts, guided nature walks, and unique workshops.
Details
We’ll have experts on hand to show you butterflies in the meadow, frogs in the stream, porcupines in the trees, and beavers in the pond. And if you’re very quiet, you just might meet some magical fairies in the woods!
