It’s humans vs. wildlife in the challenge of survival. Led by a naturalist, become a squirrel, a spider, an opossum and other local wildlife to discover how adaptations help animals survive. Then compare your abilities with those of our wildlife to better understand and appreciate their adaptive strengths. Pack a picnic lunch and extend your day or sign up for our afternoon program as well! Registration required by Thursday, April 2: 708-946-2216. https://anc.apm.activecommunities.com/fpdwc/activity/search/detail/9969?onlineSiteId=0&from_original_cui=true
