Pink Moon Celebration
Come celebrate the rising of the Pink Moon at Ogden Nature Center! The Pink Moon is the name given to April’s fall moon, in honor of the pink flowers that pop up as a sign of spring’s arrival. We'll start by making flower and moon themed crafts, then hear from NASA Ambassador Jen Jones discuss the upcoming Artemis missions. And of course, there will be an opportunity to view the full moon up close and personal through telescopes.
