COBB, Calif. – The Friends of Boggs Mountain (FOBM) invite kids ages 5 to 105 to free outdoor “nature meets art” mini workshops to be held at Boggs Mountain Demonstration State Forest this July.

Two arts and crafts instructors, including Cobb artist Hannah Meredith, will combine a delightful outdoors experience with creative artistic expression using “forest litter” – pine cones, leaves, lichen.

The nature experience may include a brief hike combined with qigong, an energizing and mind-calming body-mind exercise.

The workshops will take place from 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday, July 11; Wednesday, July 15; and Saturday, July 18.

The mini-workshops are free of charge; however, children under 18 must be accompanied by their parents or guardians who will need to sign a liability waiver.

The site is wheelchair-accessible with assistance. Bring folding chairs and something to drink. Water and light refreshments will also be available.

Boggs Mountain Demonstration State Forest is at the end of Forestry Road, about 1.5 miles north of Cobb off Highway 175.
