Budding Naturalist: Maine Wildlife Walk (Ages 8-14)

In this active field study class, students will explore the Gardens’ many habitats, learning how to identify signs of animals in their natural environment. We’ll focus on what animals do to prepare for the upcoming winter, covering topics such as food sources and acquisition, den preparation, hibernation and migration. We hope to spot as many as our native animals as possible, ending the session exploring the life in our ponds. Registration for this class includes Gardens admission for one child and one adult.

Please note: In an effort to keep the group size small, this is a drop-off program. If your child would be more comfortable with you nearby, please contact Erika Huber at ehuber@mainegardens.org before the session to discuss options.
