Nature Collage at Beaman Park Nature Center

A drop-in art session at Beaman Park to welcome fall: gather what the woods are shedding and build a collage out of it. All ages are welcome, and the four-hour window means you can fold it into a walk rather than plan a day around it.

Beaman sits on the far northwest side and stays quieter than the Warner Parks, which makes it a good pick if you want the nature-center experience without a crowd. Free.
