Chewonki at the Gardens: Scales & Tails

Chewonki returns to the Gardens with their popular drop-in naturalist residency program, which is open to all and included in the daily admission price. This is the fourth and last of four focused on animals and their unique adaptations.

Many people conjure up images of slimy skin and dangerous monsters when they hear the word “reptile.” This hands-on program dispels some of those fears by allowing guests to examine snakeskins, turtle shells, skeletons, and other unique reptilian artifacts. Using live, non-releasable reptiles, we’ll compare these species and discuss their adaptations.
