Interested in frogs, toads, newts, and salamanders? Want to learn about the macroinvertebrates (small animals without backbones) found in streams like dragonfly larva and mayflies? Looking for some outdoor family fun? Then join Michelle Illing with the Muskingum Valley Park District and Nicole Hafer-Lipstreu, Education/Outreach Specialist with Wild at Hart Wildlife Rehabilitation on Saturday, April 29th, at 2pm at McGraw Edison Recreation Area. We will be exploring the vernal pools, stream, and pond in search of the many amphibians that call the park home.

National Public Gardens Day Celebration
Join us to celebrate National Public Gardens Day, an annual national event held to show appreciation to local public gardens within your community. Our event welcomes the fairies back to the gardens and shows appreciation to our community. This year, our event brings back vendors to the gardens. The public can shop local nature-inspired and garden arts and crafts, enjoy the gardens casually or learn park history during a guided tour, explore the Discovery Shed and play in Olga’s Children’s Garden. Free to attend; vendor prices vary. Food and music may be provided as we are currently looking for sponsors.
