For many animals, nighttime is the best time to look for food, build a nest, or play with their siblings. This class teaches you how nocturnal animals adapt to low visibility at night. You can learn through hands-on demonstrations and experiments how animals use all their senses to get around in the dark. We will also embark on a night hike and might be able to detect nocturnal animals such as owls, opossums, or deer.
This event is outdoors. Please wear warm clothes and sturdy shoes. Bring a flashlight if you have one.

Let’s help our little backyard birds survive the winter! When the temperatures get colder, birds must eat enough to create energy to stay warm. We can make their lives a lot easier by providing nutritious and yummy bird food. It's so much fun to watch birds pick their favorite treats from your bird feeder! At this event you can choose from a variety of bird feeder designs and materials to make one or more feeders. The birds will love your wire feeders for sunflower seeds, pumpkin feeders, pinecone feeders, dried fruit garlands, and coconut suet!
