Join MPRB naturalists at Loring Park or Matthews Park
This January, the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB) launches Nature Connections, a new program designed for adults 55 & up.
- Enjoy varied activities focused on nature, including bird-watching, winter tree identification and flower arranging
- Get insights from an MPRB naturalist
- Choose outdoor or indoor sessions — or both!
Outdoor Sessions
Enjoy a stroll or a snowshoe around the park and neighborhood. Walking poles and ice cleats available for use. Sessions focus on topics such as birdwatching and winter tree identification. Time outside depends on the weather, and we'll warm up with a beverage afterward.
Indoor Sessions
Bring nature inside with activities like birdwatching, floral arranging and growing indoor plants.
