Homeschool Science Lab "Fossil Hunt"
Join us at Russell Wildlife Area for a hands-on fossil hunting adventure! This unique spot is a great place to discover fossils of ancient marine life from long ago. Kids will have fun digging in the dirt, getting a little messy, and sorting through their finds to choose their favorite fossils to take home.
Please wear clothes and shoes that can get dirty. Registration is required, so be sure to sign up soon!

Nature has inspired many of the inventions we use every day. In this program, discover how people have looked to plants, animals, and natural systems for creative ideas and solutions.
