Join Hancock Park District as we travel to different parks to visit a variety of habitat, including forest, field, and the Blanchard River. We will talk about some of the animals that live in those habitats, including non-game fish, snakes, and songbirds. Activities will include a stream study involving insects and fish, an insect study using sweep nets, canoeing and kayaking on the Blanchard River, and fishing.
