Oakland Township Parks and Recreation and Dinosaur Hill Nature Preserve have partnered to bring Oakland Township residents and others exciting new programs at Lost Lake Nature Park. Family, friends and neighbors are invited to explore everything this partnership has to offer at one of three summer open houses.
Open houses are FREE! Open houses are FUN! Open houses are for the whole family! The nature center will be open for four hours. You are welcome to drop by any time during those hours. You will have a chance to explore this amazing park, check out the nature center, participate in crafts, games and other ongoing activities. A new theme will be featured each month so come to one or come to all! You are also welcome to make an afternoon of it and bring along a picnic to enjoy with a scenic view of the huge pine trees and beautifully secluded Lost Lake. Registration is not required to attend, just come on out and have fun.
Sunday May 6th – Leaf it to Trees
One thing we really like doing is breathing and the trees make that much more enjoyable for us. Join us for an exciting day all about trees and the things they provide us (of course we will have readings from The Giving Tree every hour). We will take a look at leaves beneath a stereoscope to see all the veins and details that we can’t make out with our eyes, collect green leaves from the woods (rich in that awesome green chlorophyll) and stamp our own leaf-print canvas tote bags to take home! We will even have displays available for you to see how a tree develops and grows over time!
Lost Lake Nature Park is located at 846 Lost Lake Trail in Oakland Township, Michigan.
Oakland Township Parks and Recreation Commission has entered into an agreement with Dinosaur Hill Nature Preserve to operate Lost Lake Nature Park; offering nature/environmental education programs.
