Events

Seasonal changes affect the behavior of plants and animals. Winter is one of the most stressful times of the year for most organisms. Students will participate in activities to learn how different species use migration, adaptation, dormancy, or other strategies to survive during these seasonal changes.

This program will be indoors and outdoors at the Urban Office at 4640 Shenandoah Ave.
