Under a Log Hike
May 15 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm
FreeEvent Navigation
Life can be found under a log. Join Hancock Park District as we search for creatures that live under logs. We will discuss the type of animals we are looking for, why they live under logs, and how fallen trees and branches benefit the forest. Afterward, we will hike the trails, find logs, and flip them over, and observe the animals we find there. We will use magnifying glasses and a portable telescope to study the animals, such as salamanders, pill bugs, centipedes, worms, snails, and mites.
Meet at Oxbow Bend Activity Area parking lot. This free program is open to children ages 6-10, with an adult. Registration is not required.
