Join us at Chinsegut Conservation Center for a fun and interactive exploration of one of Florida’s most familiar wildlife neighbors—squirrels! During this 1.5-hour hands-on class, participants will learn fascinating squirrel facts, examine real squirrel artifacts, and discover how squirrels survive and thrive in our natural spaces. We’ll head outdoors for a short nature walk to look and listen for squirrels and signs of their activity, play movement-based games that demonstrate squirrel behaviors, and build a squirrel drey using natural materials, weather permitting. If weather doesn’t cooperate, an engaging indoor backup plan ensures the program runs rain or shine.Limited spots are available and registration is required at this link:
