This week’s programs are:
Thursday, June 28, 9:30 am, Swim Area Parking Lot – Creek Walk – What else is in the water besides people? Join us for this short walk up North Sylamore Creek and find out. We’ll be looking at life in the creek, so be prepared to get wet. We’ll begin at the Swim Area Parking Lot at 9:30 am.
Friday, June 29, 10:00 am, Amphitheater – Going Batty? – Are bats blind? What about vampire bats? What should you know about bat houses? How well would you get around using only your hearing? This program will tackle these and other questions about bats. We’ll begin this program at the amphitheater at 10 am.
