EAGLE – Do you know the official state animal? What about the state bird? State flower?
Discover all of this and more at Sylvan Lake State Park on March 3, as rangers ask “How Well Do You Colorad-know?”
In addition to learning about the habitat and habits of the official state animal, bird, fish, flower, insect, tree and amphibian, there will be a variety of crafts for children 3 and older.
Participants can take home a columbine flower seed to plant, as well as other arts projects representing Colorado. The event will be hosted on a drop-in basis at the Sylvan Lake Visitor Center between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m.
After getting crafty at the visitor center, participants are encouraged to make a day of it and walk around Sylvan Lake or take a few runs with a sled. The visitor center has snowshoes to lend for no cost on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Or check out similar programs at Cheyene Mountain, Mueller or Castlewood Canyon state parks, all in the Pikes Peak region.
