Mammals

You "woodn't" want to miss the Beaver Supermoon happening this month! This yearly occurrence is named after one of the most unique mammals found in Missouri, the American beaver. In this virtual program, we will discuss the significant impact beavers have had throughout history on our culture and the meaning of the beaver supermoon. We will learn about their unique adaptations that make them well suited for their environment and their role as ecosystem engineers.

Nature Art

Join us to create your very own trophy buck or doe to hang on your wall! Needle felting uses wool and a special needle to felt down wool fibers into your desired shape. We will cover the basics of needle-felting and learn a little bit more about our subject, the white-tailed deer. Each participant will get to make their own needle-felted deer shoulder mount measuring ~ 5 inches. All supplies will be provided, and no prior experience is necessary.

Hiking

Experience the sounds of the night during a moderate hike at the August A. Busch Memorial Conservation Area. We will hike the Busch Hiking/Biking Trail which is approximately 3 ½ miles in length. We may hear coyotes howling and also hear 2 or 3 species of owls calling their mates.

Birds

Who’s that hooting it up each December evening?? Owls that’s who. You will learn what makes them such effective nighttime hunters and why they hoot so much this time of year. We will then take a short walk and see if we can entice any owls to fly in and talk to us. Dress appropriately since we will be outside part of the time.
