Science Kids Assistant Director Molly Kinsey and Sheridan Community Land Trust Director of Marketing and Development Chris Vrba have invited the public to disconnect from technology and explore the birdlife of Sheridan County. Kinsey, a retired elementary school teacher, emphasized Science Kids’ mission of getting children outdoors to experience and learn about the natural world. With a focus on everything from minerals to birds, Science Kids collaborates with experts to spark curiosity and imagination in children.
