Event details

This ongoing program will be offered from Wednesday, June 3, through Sunday, June 28. Hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesdays to Sundays.

Bees, butterflies, beetles and more call Hidden Oaks their home. Celebrate National Pollinator Month by exploring the habitats these critters rely on. Look high and low. Under a log or atop a flower. How many bugs can you find? Bring your data back to the nature center to add to our ever-growing master list. Be part of the Hidden Oaks community of citizen scientists. Maybe you can be the one to find a bug we didn’t know we had at this preserve!
