Good morning, Salem.

Back in the fall, we published a story about a new outdoor nature play group some local environmental educators were getting off the ground.

Western University of Health Sciences Lebanon Oregon

The program meets monthly for 3 months, offering 45-minute play sessions in local parks designed for kids age 2-5.

Registration is now open for a winter session to be held at Bush’s Pasture Park, meeting one Tuesday morning in January, February and March at 10 a.m. You can learn more and sign up online here.

Here’s some of today’s news. You can always find our latest reports anytime of day or night on our website.
