DESCRIPTION:Look around…listen…breath deep…touch! Our understanding of the world around us is based on what we can sense\, and what we can imagine. As humans\, we have limited senses of hearing and sight–and our sense of time also has an effect on what we understand. Join a Brookside naturalist to learn how to use different tools to expand your powers of observation and sharpen your senses. You never know what you’ll discover when you take a closer look!  \nAges 5 & up \n  URL:https://www.mctgardenclub.org/event/01242016-what-are-you-missing/ LOCATION:Brookside Nature Center in Wheaton Regional Park\, 1400 Glenallan Ave.\, Wheaton\, MD\, 20902\, United States CATEGORIES:Family,Free,Kids,Nature END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20160127T184500 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20160127T201500 DTSTAMP:20260501T182844 CREATED:20160109T193953Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160119T165903Z UID:2854-1453920300-1453925700@www.mctgardenclub.org SUMMARY:01/27/2016 - Nature Matters: Climate Change and Native Plants DESCRIPTION:Our local native flora is essentially tied to other aspects of the ecosystem\, including weather patterns.
