After the instruction portion, participants will head to the water for a relaxed catch-and-release fishing session to practice their new skills. No experience or equipment needed — cane poles will be provided.

Join an MDC naturalist for Storybook Saturday at Kirkwood Public Library! Summer is finally here and Missouri’s critters are out and about. Learn all about amphibians in "Would You Rather Be A Tadpole? All About Pond Life: A Cat in the Hat Story". After the story, stick around to meet an ambassador animal up close and paint your own “toad abode” to take home!
