“Home Sweet Habitat”
(choice of 2 weeks/pick one from below)
July 7 – 11 or July 14 – 18
Did you know that Ohio is home to four different species of garter snakes? The Eastern and Butler’s garter snakes can be found in a wide-range of habitats from forests to even our own backyards! However, the plain’s and short-headed garter snakes can only be found in prairies. Even though these species are closely related to one another, they still have different preferences for which habitats they live in. Join us this July as we explore the different habitats that can be found in Ohio as well as the unique wildlife that can be found there. We will roll over logs in a wetland in search of amphibians and reptiles, wade through a creek to find the creatures that call it home, and set up camera traps in a forest to discover its secretive wildlife!
“Good Grub”
(choice of 2 weeks/pick on from below)
July 28 – August 1 or August 4 – August 8
When you think about your favorite food, what comes to mind? Is it mice! Or bugs? How about grass! We may not eat the same food as our wild neighbors, but even they don’t all like the same things. These herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores are specially adapted to find, catch, and consume their own favorite dinner items. The broad wing hawk will even peel the skin off a frog before enjoying!
