Through an interactive, inquiry-driven program using animal specimens and games, students learn how to identify native animals and discuss structures/forms that help them to survive in their habitats. By focusing on common native animals and accessible habitats, this program encourages students to connect with wildlife and builds awareness of the animals that live around us.

Please Note: Beginning Fall 2026, we are adjusting the format of our onsite programs to include one station led by chaperones and/or the classroom teacher. We will provide clear guidance and materials to support this station. We are still finalizing the details and will share more information before the start of the next school year.
