December events at the MDC Nature Center promise a month full of hands-on learning and seasonal outdoor fun, and Manager Laci Prucinsky says there’s something for visitors of all ages. From winter wildlife programs and guided hikes to family craft workshops and bird-watching opportunities, the Nature Center is highlighting the unique beauty and activity that colder weather brings to Missouri’s outdoors. Prucinsky notes that these events are designed to help families connect with nature, build new skills, and enjoy the holidays in a meaningful way, whether they’re exploring the trails or participating in interactive educational sessions inside the center.
