Discover life under the surface of our local aquatic habitats (with nets and fish traps), check our camera trap (for images of elusive forest-dwelling creatures), learn field techniques to make plaster casts of animal tracks, and
learn techniques for the safe handling of our rescued ambassadors and field subjects. Maximum 10-12 children per program.
