Tuesday, April 22: Busy Beavers
Beavers are amazing ecosystem shapers and we are lucky to have lots of them living on the sanctuary.
We will visit wetlands full of life that these creatures helped create and see real beaver lodges and dams up close.
After exploring, we will try our hand at building our own lodges and dams!
Wednesday, April 23: Who's Taking Flight in the Fields?
Our fields in spring are full of creatures that flutter, soar, and swoop.
We will look for Eastern Bluebirds on their nest boxes and our resident Red-tailed Hawk gliding high in the sky.
With nets and bug boxes in hand, we will try to catch flying insects for an up-close view as well.
Thursday, April 24: Water Worlds
Ponds, rivers, and vernal pools are just a few of the squishy splashy wetlands that transform before our eyes in spring.
Using dipping nets, we will catch and see what lurks below the water's surface.
Frogs, turtles, ducks, fish, aquatic insects, and even amphibian eggs or larva await us in these water worlds.
Friday, April 25: Soil Science
Get your hands dirty and dig into the science of soil.
We will learn what dirt is made of, dig up and compare soil samples, and roll over logs to find the creatures that call soil home.
If we're lucky we might even spot a salamander hiding down there in the delightful dirt.
