Families that pond together bond together! Discover the amazing adaptations that enable pond plants and animals to survive in their habitat. Using handheld magnifiers, nets, and our pond-life visual aids, explore life in Sheldrake's own Goodliffe Pond. Families will rotate among multiple stations, learning about life cycles, food chains and webs, and the ways that various pond creatures move, eat, and breathe. Refreshments will be offered. 

Advance registration is required. Space is limited. Allow ~45 minutes (of the two-hour program) to participate, arriving/departing at any time in that window; participants are welcome to linger.
