Calling all explorers! Join us for this exciting, hands-on program where we will dive into the fascinating world of herpetology!
Youth, accompanied by an adult, will learn about reptiles and amphibians (collectively referred to as "herptiles"), including how to tell the difference between them and discover their habitats. The fun doesn't stop there—each youth will have the chance to create their very own toad abode to take home!
You'll also get an introduction to ecoEXPLORE, an incentive-based community science program developed by The North Carolina Arboretum. Each field season, youth can earn badges and prizes by making real-world observations and completing challenges.
There is no need to have an ecoEXPLORE account prior to this program in order to participate. Program begins at the Education Yurt. Come dressed for the weather as this program will be held partly outdoors. In the event of inclement weather, activities will be moved inside.
Don't miss out on this opportunity to equip your young explorers with the knowledge and tools to continue (or begin!) their science journey!
