Senior citizens will have the opportunity to learn about state parks this week.

John Jay Center for Learning’s Senior Learning Series will feature volunteer and Indiana master naturalist coordinator Jody Heaston at 1 p.m. Thursday. The virtual event will be live streamed on the John Jay Facebook page.

Heaston, who is based at Ouabache State Park east of Bluffton, will focus on what state parks have to offer for senior citizens.
