The Science of Wildlife

Join us to discover the science behind how animals are specially adapted to survive in their natural habitats. Through hands-on experiments and interactive games & activities, we'll learn how an animal's skeletal structure & body coverings impact its body temperature, movement, eating habits, and ability to protect itself from predators. You'll even get the chance to meet an animal or two during this fun and engaging, family-friendly program!

Thanksgiving Weekend Waddle 

Saturday, November 25 ·  10:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m.

Grab the entire family (and any lingering holiday visitors too!) and join the NCNC Naturalists for a healthy, invigorating Trail Trek to work off that holiday meal. While "waddling" the trails, we'll search for some of nature's most treasured gifts (apple trees, maple trees & honey bees to name a few) and learn why the end of autumn may not be quite as quiet as you may think.    

Naturalist-led Trail Treks depart the Sugar Shack at 10:00 a.m. & 11:00 a.m.
