Boat Ramp off of Mitchell Valley Road
When
July 11, 2022. 3:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.
There are approximately 5,000 species of Dragonflies known to science. They can't all be found at Hungry Mother's wetland habitat, but there are still an abundance to observe.
Join the interpreters to go hunting for these unique insects and try to figure out what they are doing here at the park. Even if we can't find any dragonflies to observe, we'll still be enjoying the unique sights and sounds of Hungry Mother's wetlands and figuring out what makes the area a perfect home for the resident dragons.
Wear closed-toe shoes.
