Event details
These eight-legged crawling critters scare many, but we should all be thankful they are a part of our ecosystem! In this fun family program, you will learn about some of our local spider species, their benefit to the environment and some of their amazing adaptations. We will search in the moonlight for these marvelous creatures. By the end of night, you may not love spiders, but you just might appreciate them a little more.
