Back again by popular demand, North Branch Nature Center presents a summer nature festival for all ages! Celebrate birds, bugs, plants, and pollinators in a day of outings, workshops, exhibits, kids activities, live birds, music, food, art, presentations, and more! Find out what you can do to protect biodiversity in your own backyard and in your community.

Right after the Jamboree, stay for NBNC’s 30th Birthday Party from 5-7 pm!  Eat cake, raise a glass, and kick up your heels to live music by the Spring Chickens!
