The cost is $27 per class, or you can pay for all 5 classes and get 10% off.

About:

This is a one-of-a-kind nature swap subscription box that was created in memory of my two teenagers Gwyn and Rowyn who passed away on November 7th, 2022 in a car accident. Gwyn and Rowyn had a love for collecting items they found on their many nature outings. They enjoyed swapping items with others and purchasing items to expand their  collections. And they loved sharing about and showing their collections  to others. So it only seemed fitting to create something in their memory  that will continue encouraging budding naturalists around the country to get outdoors to learn about and explore the natural world!  

What's Included:

Each month your Junior Naturalist will receive a new nature specimen with a specimen trading card, a naturalist equipment item, nature swap postcard, and prepaid return postage, 2 page activity sheet, scavenger hunt or journal page, and access to an additional private resource page on our website (with book and video recommendations, extension activities, fieldtrip recommendations, and more).
 

Junior Naturalists can earn critter coins by sending back specimens they discover, along with the completed postcard, to be added to the Cabinet of Curiosities (prepaid  return postage provided). The more details they provide about the specimen the more coins they will earn. Additional coins can be earned by completing reading logs, writing/drawing in their nature journal,  creating videos/brochures about their specimen, participating in community science projects, collecting litter, and going birding. The first month will included a guide about collecting ethically and legally.

Junior Naturalists can visit the online nature shop to view specimens from around the country and redeem their accumulated coins at any time to receive new specimens or their collection.
