What happens on 20 September and 18/22 October?

20 September: Kunst en Natuur. Artists find inspiration in nature; you look differently, make art from natural materials, make a treasure chest, and discover colours in nature.

18 & 22 October: Paddenstoelen. With a guide, learn how mushrooms grow, recognize them, and see differences. Look at the landscape in a magical way, find a small nature gift for the elves and gnomes in Schoorl, and make an autumn viewing box with natural materials you find outside.

What happens on 1 November and 20 December?

1 November & 20 December: Lichtjes in de duinen. Winter is coming; it gets light later and dark earlier. The winter seems quiet, dark and dead, but there is much to see. It is the growth season for mosses and lichens, which give the dunes a beautiful green colour. See them under a loupe, craft a light or nature craft, and end with popping corn over the fire.
