Program Descriptions
Reptiles: What defines a reptile and what unique adaptations help them survive Participants will explore which reptiles can be found in River Legacy while comparing and contrasting snakes, lizards, and turtles. They’ll also investigate differences between terrestrial and aquatic turtles. With the help of our live animal ambassadors and hands on specimens, students will dive deeper into the fascinating world of reptiles in this engaging program.
Creepy Crawlers: Explore the realm of the Earth’s most biodiverse group of animals, Arthropods! Compare and contrast insects, arachnids, myriapods and more! Their adaptations give them important roles in almost every ecosystem on our planet! Meet some of our animal ambassadors and specimens for up-close encounters with these amazing animals!
Woodland Habitat: Step into the role of an ecologist and explore our Woodland Habitat ecosystem! Guided by a Naturalist, participants will hike the trails to learn about the forest layers and observe the plants and animals that call this habitat home. Through hands-on, up-close exploration of the forest floor, our guests will discover why it is so vital to the ecosystem and investigate decomposers, invertebrates, lichens, and fungi that support it.
Aquatic Macroinvertebrates: Join us for a hands-on investigation of the macroinvertebrates-the living indicators of water quality! Participants will collect, identify, classify, and safely release the unique animals found on and beneath the surface of our pond. Using dip nets, microscopes, magnifying glasses and identification guides, participants will get a closer look at these fascinating animals.
Mammals: Curious about our furry friends? Join us for an investigation into the wonderful world of mammals. In this interactive exploration, participants will discover what defines a mammal, study the amazing adaptations that help them survive, and learn which mammals call our park home all with the help of some of our animal ambassadors.
