Learn about two very important species at the preserve, trees and bees! We will learn more about trees and why their leaves change colors and the important role bees play in our ecosystem.
October 28th 9:00-11:00 am: Owls
In this session, we will explore the world of owls and their adaptations. We will learn what makes them special and dissect owl pellets to discover what they eat. This program will finish off with a hike in search of owl signs.
November 11th 9:00-11:00 am: Skins, Bones, and Unknowns
We will become wildlife biologists as we investigate the animals that can be found at the preserve. By looking at animal pelts, skulls, tracks, and scat, we will discover clues that can help identify common Wisconsin animals while on a hike through the preserve.

Put your survival skills to the test! We will learn the basics of outdoor survival and then work together in small groups to build shelters and warming fires.

Learn where animals go in the winter months. We will search the prairies, ponds, and forests for animal homes large and small. Then build our own “animal homes” out of nature!
