Kinnkinnick Club

Can you spell Kinnikinnick backwards and forwards? Can you say it three times fast?

You ask what is Kinnikinnick? It is an evergreen ground cover also called Bearberry found all over the Pajarito Plateau.

What then is the Kinnikinnick Club? It's a nature club for kids in grades 4-6. Kids join the club and receive a nature journal, magnifying glass, and invitations to Kinnikinnick Club events: nature walks, story times, hands-on science, and more. We generally meet twice a month. We'll even hang your picture in the environmental education center!

We want kids like you who love nature to join!

Membership is $30 annually. Each additional child is $20. The club meets twice per month, usually the first and third Mondays. E-mail Michele Altherr, maltherr@cybermesa.com with questions.
