Boy Scout Workshop May 15, 2011

A naturalist studies plants and animals in the wild. Before you earn your Naturalist badge and go into any wild area, you must learn skills and knowledge that protect not only the environment and keep you safe but also enhance your ability to see, hear, and watch wildlife. This program includes activities to hone your wildlife watching skills; identify the poisonous plants and venomous reptiles of PA; explore the mystery of bird migration; learn about some of the mammals that call PA their home; and examine some extraordinary talents that animals have developed to survive. A hike in The Park will give each participant the chance to use the new "naturalist" skills they learned this day. Bring a packed lunch and drink.
