People respond differently to different animals. For instance, some people don't like spiders and may automatically recoil if they see one. Others are fascinated by spiders and may lean in to get a closer look. Accurate information about animals and pleasant experiences with them help promote positive feelings. This program is made for people to notice their first reactions to different animals and then see whether their reaction changes when they learn more about this animal. Meeting for this program will be at the Sugar Hill Trail head next to the Oxbow Lake. Please wear close toed shoes and bring water. We hope to see you there!
