Since 2009, Kids in Parks has encouraged kids and families to get outdoors and engage with nature. Self-guided brochures at each site (over 200 nationwide) help turn regular outings into explorative outdoor experiences. At the Orchard, we offer opportunities for kids to walk our trails and identify plants, trees, birds, butterflies, all that abounds in our fields. They can read about the Overmountain Trail, catalog apple growth, even monitor the barn swallows and their babes.
