Fabricating for Faeries 6/27/2026

Join a TNC Environmental Educator for a guided walk along our Fairy Trail to spark your imagination and gather creative ideas. After exploring, you will design and build your very own fairy house to take home.

Participants are required to bring their own base for their fairy house. Natural materials will be provided for decorating, and guests are welcome to bring additional decorative items to make their creation unique. Take a look at our Faerie House Guidelines and Inspiration.pdf

Those who wish to display their fairy house creations are encouraged to participate in our Fireflies and Faeries Festival.

This program is intended for adults and families with children ages 4 and up. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Program will be held both indoors and outdoors. In case of inclement weather, the program will be held under cover. Space is limited and pre-registration is required.

• Keep voices and noise low to preserve the tranquility of the trails.
• Carry in, carry out: please take all trash with you.
