Come meet the invertebrate inhabitants of the stream and learn from them! Join us at Sullivan Park in Chittenango for a kid-friendly stream survey and lesson on aquatic inverts!

Looking Back on April

 

In April, Young Naturalists ran a program called Playful Pollinators! We talked about the importance of pollinators in our ecosystem, who they are, played a game, and even planted our own flowers to help the pollinators around Syracuse. Keep an eye out for the flowers popping out as we move from spring and into summer, there’s sure to be all sorts of bugs, birds and bats all around!

Upcoming April Events

Spring is at last coming our way! Celebrate the warm breezes and sweet flowers by jumping into our April programming. This month we’re exploring themes around the animals that make this seasonal change possible — Playful Pollinators! 

Looking Back on March

March's Birds of a Feather lesson was an exciting success! Naturalists were eager to fly right into all the adaptations that make birds so unique. From local upstate New York birds like robins to the birds of South America like the Quetzal, we explored them all! By the end of this lesson both learners and families were invited to create their very own DIY pine cone bird feeder using a bit of sunbutter and native birdseed.
