WHO LIVES IN THE WATER? |
|
 |
Come join Nature Center staff on an exploration of aquatic life at Fair Hill – We will use plankton nets and microscopes to discover the smallest creatures in the pond. After searching out these micro creatures we will move to the Big Elk Creek for larger aquatic creatures – minnows, insects, tadpoles, and our favorites – the crayfish. Bring water shoes or other shoes you can get wet and a towel or change of clothes for the little ones. Recommended for adults and families with children age 3 and up. |

Free to members,
