Let’s get our feet wet, with our shoes on! Join in the search for macro
invertebrates, salamanders, crawfish and other critters in the warming
waters of White Oak Creek. What we find will give us clues about the
health of the water and the life it supports. Back on dry land discover
evidence of an ancient vanished sea and the strange and familiar life
forms it harbored. A special guest educator from Brown County Soil and
Water Conservation District will show us the way.
What is a
meadow? Who lives there? To find out, we challenge you to a sensory
scavenger hunt in our 30 acre Quail Conservation area. See, hear,
taste, touch and smell your way into the tangled food web of this
important and threatened habitat. Tap into your creativity to record
your observations, indulge in nature’s sweet treats, and meet one of
the ground nesting birds whose survival depends on the preservation of
these habitats.
Things are heating up down at the pond. Frogs
are courting, toads are trilling, fish are jumping, turtles are
sunning, birds are nesting, insects are emerging. The miracle of life
is springing forth all around. Mysteries are waiting to be unraveled
and we need your help. Join in the quest for frogs and toads, egg
masses, tadpoles and the meaning of metamorphosis. Feed fish and
turtles, test water quality, and make a living food chain.
“Thanks again! The kids and adults had a blast!”
