NATURE LITERACY TO-GO

Glendale Library, Arts & Culture is thrilled to announce our new program Nature Literacy To-Go, designed to get adults out into nature and exploring. Join us for workshops in nature foraging, bird watching, botanical journaling, gardening, and more! Or check out one of our Nature Literacy To-Go backpack kits and the CA State Park Pass, accessing free admission to many of California’s beautiful state parks. Our Nature Literacy To-Go backpack contains a translation device allowing you to explore the great outdoors and interpret park signs in many languages. California parks are for all, enjoy them for free through Nature Literacy To-Go! 

This project was supported in whole or in part by funding provided by the State of California, administered by the California State Library.
