Get to know the animals that live right in your own backyard as we use mounts, study skins and live animals to get acquainted with our Nature-based neighbors. Habitats, adaptations, observable traits and more will be covered through this program. Animals covered will change based off of seasons. After our indoor presentation, we will head out onto the trail to see if we can spot any of the animals we’ve discussed indoors.

This program is both indoors and outdoors. The time will be divided equally, with approximately 60 minutes spent indoors for programming; and the remainder of the time spent outdoors on a leisurely walk with frequent stops. The area we will be walking in is un-even and hilly.
