From mammals to insects and everything in between we will explore how animals survive, where animals live, what adaptations they have, and what makes animals unique. Participants will make observations about animals we see throughout the gardens and Heather Farms park. Scientists will study real life insects, reptiles, mammals, birds, and microscopic organisms.
