May 12, Sat {AK} Kids Explore Whitetail Woods Regional Park. Olive and her grandmother are leading an exploration of Dakota County’s newest park. We’ll check out the animals in the forest and on the lake. Which ones stay active all winter long? Which ones hibernate? Which ones leave for warmer climates and return in spring? After our hike we’ll play in the natural play area and gather around the fire pit to roast marshmallows. Bring your own water bottle and snacks. Marshmallows and roasting sticks will be provided. Meet at the park building at 1:00 p.m. The address is 17100 Station Trail, Farmington, MN 55044.
