Upcoming Programs
October 15: Autumn in the Wild
Fall is a season of change, and wildlife is busy preparing for what comes next! Join Aark for this hands-on homeschool program exploring how animals and plants respond to the changing seasons.
Discover how wildlife prepares for winter through fascinating behaviors, incredible adaptations, and other survival strategies. We'll explore the abundance of autumn, learn about the important resources wildlife depends on, meet some of Aark's animal ambassadors, and even learn how to make your own fresh apple cider!
