Winter 2022 Special Events

OWL PROWL

Join Environmental Educator Carl Heitmuller for the evening to learn about what species of owls are native to our region and their incredible adaptations. Meet a live owl from the Nature Museum’s collection, and then bundle up and venture outdoors (around 30 minutes) as we try our hand at calling in one of these nocturnal raptors. Please dress warmly and bring a camping chair if possible
