Wednesday, April 19: Swamp Stomp - Grab a net and head to the wetlands with Audubon to look for signs of spring! Can you spot a turtle? How about a frog? What other animals can you find with your net?

Thursday, April 20: Forest Foray - Learn about the different animals who live in this local habitat. Play nature games and work together to create fairy homes in the forest.

Friday, April 21: Earth Day Extravaganza! Help us celebrate Earth Day with eco-friendly activities. Explore the seashore with nets and buckets, make a natural craft, try your hand at an outdoor scavenger hunt on the wildlife refuge, and explore artifacts from nature at our biofact table.
