Tuleyome and the city of Woodland will co-host the fourth annual Tuleyome Spring Thing, a nature-centered celebration, set for Saturday, March 22, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., at the Woodland Regional Park Preserve. This event is a time to celebrate and support Tuleyome’s programs and access to public lands.

According to a Tuleyome press release, this free, family-friendly community event will feature guided trails through the preserve, kids’ adventures with Nature’s Theater’s Super Bird walking story, a nature passport activity, food from the Hefty Gyros food truck and more.

A dedicated “kid’s zone” will include games from the city of Woodland’s Rec2Go program, face painting, crafts and fort building. Live music from various artists will be provided throughout the day as well as an ongoing campfire with s’mores and campfire activities.

Everyone is invited to bring their favorite snacks, a water bottle, a picnic, and a chair to come enjoy the start of spring in our beautiful preserve located just on the edge of town. This unique urban preserve is a special gem in our community and the Tuleyome Spring Thing is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy all it has to offer — all while supporting Tuleyome’s mission to enhance, restore, and conserve our deep home place.

“I am a volunteer board member for Tuleyome because they are the most effective preservation organization in our region,” stated Lyndsay Dawkins, founder of Nature’s Theater. “This park preserve in Woodland came into being with Tuleyome partnering with Woodland to make it happen. This is an urban adjacent wild place. Tuleyome also approaches Nature connection from a hands-on, educational, and immersive perspective.

“In partnership with Tuleyome, my organization has reached thousands of kids with eco-themed Theater. Kids care about what they’re connected to, so these experiences are golden. The Spring Thing will offer a peek into an urban jewel as they explore Woodland Regional Park Preserve. Tuleyome’s vision and collaboration with the city of Woodland made the park possible. This event is a perfect way to deepen the nature connection for kids.”
