INDIAN RIVER COUNTY — On Feb. 26 from 1 to 2 p.m., the Environmental Learning Center is leading an outdoor program for grandparents who have grandkids visiting them. It is an opportunity for grandparents to share time with the grandkids while learning about Florida’s amazing natural resources.
The program is lead by Rosemary Badger, an environmental educator who specializes in early childhood education. She will lead the group in either exploring ELC’s island campus or heading to a local beach, so participants should dress for outdoor exploration.
