Learning stations feature experiences and activities on topics from prairies, to wetlands, birds to mammals, Native American History to art, and more. A passport is distributed to children and adults to get stamped at the stations. Children are encouraged to get at least six stamps so they can earn a Junior Naturalist badge and certificate, and adults get a reward when they get their passport stamped.

This event inspires a land conservation ethic in the next generation when children are asked to promise to protect the land, water, air, plants and animals in their community before they are given their badge.
