KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Ijams Nature Center will hold several events over the next few days starting Thursday with its virtual Ijams Nature Play Club and Preschool Open House. It will be on zoom from 6-7 p.m. Parents with children ages 3-5 are encouraged to attend.
The center is holding its 33rd Ijams River Rescue event. It was rescheduled for this Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. You can register as a volunteer at the Ijams website here.
The event usually brings out hundreds of volunteers and removes between 10 - 40 tons of trash from the Tennessee River. The event had to be rescheduled to March 19 due to winter weather.
On Sunday, the center is holding its Bluegrass Jam from 2-5 p.m. It's free and open to all ages. Musicians are also invited to jam. Ijams ask that any musicians register online.
Ijams is also holding a free in-person nature play club on Sunday from 1-3 p.m. for parents with children ages 3-5.
