August 18: Natural History of Humans
Travel back in time and learn how early pioneers survived off of our land in wild scenarios. Jr. Naturalists will learn the importance of our botanical world and the many diverse uses of all things green. Naturalists will be given certain clues and natural tools to overcome make-believe circumstances in the wild.
Monarch Butterflies Emerging
Currently at the Center we are rearing Monarch butterflies as a part of a past Junior Naturalist Program. The butterflies will be emerging from the chrysalises starting on or around August 3 and will continue for a few weeks. Bring your little ones out to catch sight of these marvelous insects before they are all gone.
