Conservation Celebration
Step into the boots of a scientist and discover more about local nature!
Did you know that the Nature Museum isn’t just an awesome place to explore and learn? We’re also involved in protecting nature! Our resident biologists study and support the conservation efforts for a variety of animals that live with us in Illinois– Blanding’s Turtles, Smooth Green Snakes, Wood Frogs, Regal Fritillary Butterflies, and more!
Join these scientists at the Museum on Thursday, March 26 to experience their work first-hand! Help them find and measure snakes in our simulated prairie, dipnet in a vernal pool to find salamander eggs, track and tag turtles in our mini-marsh, and do so much more!
This program is designed for all ages, with special guidance included for how caregivers can best join and support their younger scientists’ experience.
