Green Week At Kidspace

March 10, 2006

Children can explore how they are connected to the world and its natural systems during Green Week, a celebration of environmental awareness taking place daily, March 13-19, at Kidspace Children's Museum in Pasadena.

Experiential, interactive, and fun programs unique to Kidspace will increase children's understanding of how they can positively interact with nature in their day-to-day lives. Activities will include the exciting debut of the Eco-lympics relay exploring recycling, alternative energy, and the ecology of diet, and a new Kidspace short program on photosynthesis, entitled, "Why Plants Are Green" taking place in the outdoor Stone Hollow Amphitheater daily through the week.

The week's highlights will include a day of ecologically related film screenings for kids on Wednesday, March 15, a tour through the Arroyo Seco Watershed led by Jeff Chapman of the Arroyo Seco Foundation at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 18, and a Nature of Wildworks interactive presentation of native Southern California animals at 1 p.m. on Sunday, March 19.

"Getting out into nature is a great way to learn about it, and the Arroyo Seco Foundation is excited about this opportunity to work with Kidspace on March 18 as we explore the beautiful Arroyo, a natural, easy-to-access environment for urban families to enjoy," stated Jeff Chapman, watershed coordinator for the Arroyo Seco Foundation. More can be learned about the Foundation, dedicated to the promotion and preservation of the Arroyo Seco, at www.arroyoseco.org
