In this workshop, we will not only safely capture, identify and observe the most delicate of our flying insects, we will spend time planting and tending to the gardens that encourage our flying friends to return each year. This workshop includes identifying native host plants and discussing various life cycles involved in this relationship. Each participant will leave with their own “starter pollinator garden.”

July 20 – 23 (Half-day): Woods-Walking
9am – 12pm, grades K – 5
In this workshop, we will be exploring the woods to learn about the big plants and animals, like trees and deer, as well as the smallest plants and animals, like moss and tardigrades. All of these living things work and live together in our woods! We’ll become super detectives and zoom in closely to the living world around us.
