family dip-netting

Many mysterious and amazing creatures take cover beneath the surface of ponds. Ponds provide food and shelter for many plants and animals to survive and they help protect people too! Join us for our new family pond program where we'll talk about the importance of ponds, introduce you to pond ecology, and the animals that rely on them. Then, we'll dip-net to find some of the animals and plants that call them home.
