Junior Naturalists - Batty for Nature!
Where
Hungry Mother State Park, 2854 Park Blvd., Marion, VA 24354.
Shelter 2
When
June 19, 2024. 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
Explore some of the coolest little critters that fly in our amazing world of the night sky above. Join an interpreter on Wednesdays this summer to learn about bats and what they mean for our ecosystem. Activities will change weekly. Parents may drop off older elementary-aged children (7 and over) but must stay with younger children to assist them in various activities.
Become a Hungry Mother Junior Naturalist by completing eight hours of programming on bats this summer! You will receive a certificate and patch and your family can attend the family picnic on July 31.
If you are from out of town and can only come one day, please come to the program and then pick up a Jr. Ranger Booklet at the front desk to work on the Jr. Ranger patch with your family during the rest of your stay.
