SPRING BREAK STAYCATION: WETLAND WONDERS

Include Plum Creek Nature Center in your spring break staycation plans! Hidden beneath the surface of the pond is an abundance of life that awaits discovery. We’ll dive in to learn about water as a resource and the importance of quality fresh water. Armed with nets and buckets, we’ll sample a wetland, identify aquatic invertebrates and draw conclusions from data. Pack a picnic lunch and extend your day or sign up for our afternoon program as well! Registration required by Sunday, March 29: 708-946-2216.
