Buena Vista County Conservation welcomes homeschool families of all ages for a hands-on adventure with scats and skulls. This program will be Tuesday, Nov. 10. from 10:30 a.m.-noon at the Casino Bay Marina.
Through hands-on activities, wildlife mystery challenges and even an edible scat snack (allergies permitting!) students will learn how scientists use clues to determine what animals eat. Participants will handle models of skulls and scat and learn to find the clues that reveal if the animal is an herbivore, carnivore or omnivore!
This fun and slightly gross program is for students of all ages. Registration is required. Visit https://www.mycountyparks.com/County/Buena-Vista/Park/Casino-Bay-Marina/Events/30038/Homeschool-Scat-Skulls-Investigation
Buena Vista County Conservation invites nature enthusiasts to join for a hike through the trails of Buena Vista County Conservation Park’s woodland trails.
This program will be offered on Tuesday, Nov. 17 starting at 2 p.m. at the office building.
Celebrate National Hiking Day as we enjoy an afternoon hiking on the park’s scenic trails. This guided walk invites participants of all ages to slow down, breathe in the fresh air and appreciate the sights and sounds of the late-fall landscape.
During our hike, we’ll explore a variety of trail habitats, look for wildlife tracks and signs and talk about how plants and animals prepare for the colder months ahead. Dress for outdoor conditions and wear comfortable walking shoes. Registered participants will be notified in case of weather-related cancellations.
