Join a Naturalist for a “creek” walk and fossil hunt in Beautiful Burnet Woods.  Learn about our world famous Ordovician fossils from 450 million years ago.  A great opportunity for your young paleontologist to start their first fossil collection!

October 28th – Camouflage

From sticks to leaves, bird droppings and more – animals are wearing some of the most outrageous costumes out there.  Get in the Halloween Spirit as we examine the wild and weird world of animal camouflage.  Fun activities demonstrate their ability to win the game every time in natures hide and seek.
