THIS CLASS IS PART OF OUR FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS OPEN HOUSE CELEBRATION
LINDA HAWLEY’S NATURE ADVENTURES!
FREE—ages 4-10 with an adult
Ravenous Rabbits, Sneaky Squirrels, Stinky Skunks Rascally Raccoons & Omnivorous Opossums!
They are lurking in open space parks, but also in your backyard at night, or during the day! Who are the little stinkers? Who has a thumb like ours & another with hands like ours? Which one can’t climb trees? Which are the herbivores, carnivores & omnivores? Who is diurnal? Who is nocturnal? How are they bothersome, & how are they beneficial to humans? We CAN coexist!
