About The Event

Join local naturalist, April Claus as she introduces you to things that creep, swim, and slither at our beloved Moraine State Park! April will show you the differences between native “herp” species using touchable models, turtle shells, and other educational materials.  Learn how to identify frogs and toads by their call!  The second portion of the event will be spent on a herp hike, looking for live specimens. This will help you to sharpen your identification skills and learn more about the microhabitat needed to support these secretive creatures. You will be amazed at the important role these animals play in our park's ecosystem! Appropriate for children ages 7 and up.  All children must be accompanied by an adult.  Be prepared to walk around 1-mile on uneven/sloped terrain on the critter search. Meet at Pavilion 6 at the McDanels Launch Area off of the North Shore exit at Moraine State Park. Click the link…
