Wild About
Mammals for September Jr. Naturalists
Darke County Parks Naturalist, Hannah Linebaugh, invites students in
grades 3-6 to join her for the September Jr. Naturalists program on
Saturday, September 19th from 2:00pm to 4:00pm at Shawnee Prairie
Preserve on St. Rt. 502 west of Greenville. Please note that the
special time differs from usual. The Jr. Naturalists program is a
series of monthly programs designed to give students a hands-on
introduction to natural resource management. Hikes, work projects, and
independent study are all part of this fun-filled nature study club.
The September program will feature mammals. While we may not often get
to see many wild mammals, we can find clues to their behavior. We’ll
look for signs, examine furs, bones, and droppings as we go wild about
mammals. A fee of $3 is charged for the program, and preregistration is
required. For any questions about the Jr. Naturalists program or any
other Park District programs or to register for the September class,
please call 548-0165 or email Hannah Linebaugh at
hlinebaugh@darkecountyparks.org.
