Program Description
Event Details
Join our Children's Librarians as we embark on a nature hike through the enchanting wilderness of our local forest preserve. We will listen and look for the animals and plants that make up one of our local ecosystems. Before we start our short hike, participants can decorate their very own water bottle with some fun nature themed stickers.
Meet us offsite for our Nature Hike in the Woods at Hickory Creek Forest Preserve on LaPorte Road. We will meet at the Pavilion at the end of the access road.
Registration is required and a waiver must be signed in order to participate. A parent or guardian is asked to go on the walk with us to ensure the groups safety. All waivers must be returned by Tuesday, September 24th. Pick up a waiver at the Library or download it out from the link on the Event Calendar. You can turn in your child's signed waiver at the Main Customer Service Desk.

We highly recommend registering with an email address. This is the only way you will get a confirmation email, be able to cancel and receive any updates, including cancellation of the program. Please arrive on time for the program. If you are unable to attend the program, please cancel at least 2 hours before the program begins, by emailing youthservices@mokena.lib.il.us or calling the Mokena Library at 708-479-9663 and canceling with a librarian.
