Trailside Offers Winter Programs for Young Children

Mountainside – Park Naturalist Sue Day introduces a rabbit to participants in Trailside Nature and Science Center’s “Toddler Time” workshop on Dec. 7 entitled “Bunny Bundles for Winter” for adults with children less than three years of age. The children enjoyed hopping and leaping like a bunny while learning interesting facts about cottontail rabbits of the Watchung Reservation. Pictured clockwise from Ms. Day are Luke Pitts of Cranford, David and Jonathon Kearns of Kenilworth, Ben Root of Westfield, Nora Mehler of Gillette and Marissa Burton of Scotch Plains. Trailside Nature and Science Center is located at 452 New Providence Road in Mountainside and is a service of the Union County Board of Chosen Freeholders.
