Use nature journaling to explore the difference of physical and behavioral adaptations and how it helps wildlife survive. Participate in fun activities exploring live wildlife at our sanctuaries and discuss which have the most interesting and mind blowing adaptations.
This field trip is available at all of our South East Sanctuaries which include Allen's Pond, North River, Oak Knoll, and Tidmarsh Wildlife Sanctuaries.
