Creature Feature

Ranger sitting on an oak branch with 'monarch butterflies' on his uniform.

Join a ranger virtually as they take a closer look at a couple of our nature neighbors. Students will follow along with an interactive video examining themes of anatomy, cultural connections, migrations, and ways to aid our local fauna. Educators will have the choice between a Monarch Butterfly or a Puma program to be presented to their students. The moderated programs will include both a pre-visit introduction to the program and a post-visit DIY craft activity that will support learnt materials.

Offered virtually throughout the week.
