SUMMARY:All-Ages Insect Safari
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an interactive look at all the tiny critters that crawl\, fly\, or slither through the Arboretum landscape. We will have sweep nets and bug boxes to catch bugs in Kent Field\, digital microscopes to get a closer look\, and entomologists to help us identify everything we find. Plus crafts and book readings for kids! This is an all-ages\, interactive program: come prepared to move around and get up close with some bugs and insects! \n\n\n\nThis is a drop-in event: join us any time between 10:00am and 12:00pm.  \n\n\n\nMonica Acker\, the author of the children’s book The Legend of Leo: A Dandy-Lion Tale\, will be doing live readings of her book at 10:30am and 11:15am.

Throughout the story\, we learn the Leo is important\, just not in the way he thought.  \n\n\n\nLocation: This event takes place in the Conifer Collection (see map)\, just across the footbridge that leads from Hemlock Hill Road. There will be signs directing participants from Flora Way Gate to the event. \n\n\n\nAccessibility: This program begins on an intersection of dirt paths in the Conifer Collection\, just over a small wooden bridge. The terrain includes a moderate slope. \n\n\n\nAudience: This program is appropriate for all ages. \n\n\n\nInclement weather policy: The rain date for this event is August 16.
