Event details

We’ll put ourselves in the paws of Thorn Creek’s woodland mammals to discover clues to their identities and explore adaptations mammals have developed to find food and survive through the different seasons. We’ll make plaster replicas of tracks to take home. For part of the program, we can explore Thorn Creek Woods’ trails. 

The program is sponsored by the Thorn Creek Audubon Society.
