Program participants should meet in the Rowe Woods Visitor Center Auditorium at our Rowe Woods location.
With a naturalist, students search for living examples of producers, consumers and decomposers in a variety of habitats while discussing food chains, population dynamics, adaptation and change. Skulls, teeth, living herbivores, carnivores and omnivores are examined. Students learn about nature’s nutrient recycling and investigate the forest for evidence of decomposition. Changing factors in an ecosystem are considered, including invasive species, overpopulation and disease.
As this runs over lunch, from 10 am until 1 pm, we suggest you bring trail snacks for your children. Once the program wraps up at 1 pm, you’re invited to head over to the picnic area adjacent to the main parking lot to enjoy your packed lunch.
Members $7 per child; nonmembers $11 per child (includes daily admission).
