Discover the wonders of one of our local natural treasures during Science Saturday: Wonders of the Wichita River at River Bend Nature Center. Participants will take a guided hike to the Wichita River in Lucy Park to explore river ecosystems, learn why healthy waterways are so important, and investigate the science of river water through simple hands-on experiments.
Guests will also have the chance to get creative with a river clay tie-dye activity. Bring your own white T-shirt to dye, or use a bandanna provided by River Bend.
