Crochet is a great hobby to connect with nature whether crocheting outside in nature, or crocheting a nature project! At this Nature Crocheters session, we’ll learn about what’s happening in nature now that winter has fully arrived. Then we will crochet a granny square snowflake that can be used as a coaster or the foundation of a crochet blanket, bag, or even pillowcase!
For this class, you should know how to crochet and be familiar with chain, slip stitch, single crochet, and double crochet to participate in this program. Please email the instructor if you’d like instructional videos to learn these stitches.
All supplies will be provided including yarn and a crochet hook. You are welcome to bring your own supplies as well.

Note: This program takes place at Marion Access on the Missouri River, about 15 minutes north of Runge Nature Center on Hwy. 179.
Runge’s annual Eagle Adventure will be different this year. Because of ongoing renovation on the Runge building and limited parking due to construction equipment, we will not have any activities or live eagles at Runge. Instead, we will have staff and volunteers at Marion Access on the Missouri River to help visitors view wild bald eagles with spotting scopes. We will also have eagle displays, a warming fire, and hot chocolate. Maps to the access are available at the nature center. This program is on a come-and-go basis from 10 AM to 2 PM. Join us in celebrating the return of bald eagles in Missouri! No registration required. All ages
