Events

Visit naturally inspired trailside creations along Wildwood Park’s wandering trails and wetlands. Using mostly natural materials, artists have constructed large and small installations. This year’s theme is “Balance.” A map-brochure about the exhibit is available online, at the kiosks or inside the Nature Center.

Design and decorate a fall wreath base out of bamboo. Everything will be supplied to make a custom-sized wreath base and then embellish it with decorations from nature, including dried flowers, grasses and seed pods.

Take this opportunity to work outside and help Wildwood’s continued park and habitat enhancement projects. Tools and work gloves provided. This program is part of the Dauphin County Park Rx series of programs sponsored by Highmark Blue Shield. Pre-registration required.
