The Joy of Birding
Did you know that bird watching is the number one recreational activity in the United States? Over 50 million people consider themselves bird watchers and enthusiasts. Our presentation engages participants with beautiful images and sounds of local birds. We cover ways to encourage and assist birds who might visit our yard. We also play a fun word association game that correlates pictures of a bird with their namesake. For a grand finale, we finish the presentation with a visit from one of our beautiful live owls.
Monarch Magic
From metamorphosis to migration, participants will discover the amazing life journey of the Monarch Butterfly. Topics discussed include monarch tagging and population tracking, their remarkable migration trip, habitat challenges faced by monarchs, and how you can help them in your own backyard or garden. The presenter brings an engaging PowerPoint presentation, as well as butterfly artifacts and displays to supplement the experience of this program. This program is best scheduled during spring and fall – the height of monarch migration.
Mammals Have Fur
Wisconsin is home to over 70 different mammal species. Discover the many unique adaptations and characteristics that make mammals special. This program focuses on local Wisconsin mammals, the habitats that they live in, and the physical and behavioral adaptations that help them survive.
