On Saturday morning, June 8, Audubon Community Nature Center Little Explorers and their adults will get up close and personal with reptiles like Lincoln the Box Turtle.

Like some people, reptiles, including turtles and snakes, are most active on warm, sunny days, so area residents may start to notice them more in the summer.

Adults and their 3 to 8-year-old(s) can learn more about “Reptiles: Tales of Scales” along with other Audubon Community Nature Center Little Explorers on Saturday, June 8, from 10 to 11:30 a.m.

Even those who are a little uncertain about some reptiles can learn more about the characteristics and behaviors of these animals, meet some real reptiles, and explore how they fit into the ecosystem.

An indoor lesson offers hands-on exploration to learn more about the special characteristics that help reptiles survive, including a meet-and-greet with some of ACNC’s reptile ambassadors. Then head out to explore Audubon’s property, where the group will look for wild reptiles and identify their natural habitats.

A snack is provided after the hike and a craft is offered if there is time. Little Explorers takes place rain or shine, so dress for the weather. The fee is $12 for adults, $9 for children ages 3-8 and Nature Center members. Enrollment is limited to 15 children, 30 participants total.
