Nature Discovery Days
Jan. 2-3, 5 & 17, 19
Even if you don’t see wild animals when you go outside, they are out and about leaving clues behind for you to find. Learn to recognize evidence like tracks, scat (poop) and fur. Touch animal pelts, match animals to their footprints and scat, decipher an animals’ “story” by reading the clues and create your own track story.
