11:00 am-12:00 pm Owl Program with Tskili, the Great Horned Owl
Schlitz Audubon Center Sponsored by: Annie Moose Do all owls hoot? Do all owls eat mice? The owl ambassadors of Schlitz Audubon will answer these questions and more as they provide first-hand encounters with these rarely seen raptors. Students will explore the adaptations that make owls successful predators of the night, and interact with artifacts. You will gain an appreciation for their nocturnal neighbors and the invaluable role they play in our ecosystem. |

Mequon Nature Preserve In summer 2016, Mequon Nature Preserve Inc. (MNP Inc.) purchased a Labrador puppy to fulfill land restoration initiatives as well as become part of the environmental education team for youth programs and community events in the surrounding area. Once trained, MNP Inc.’s dog, Tilia (Latin word for basswood tree) will work at Mequon Nature Preserve (MNP) full time as a conservation ambassador. As a one-year-old, Tilia is learning to scent three species of salamanders as well as wild parsnip, a toxic invasive plant species that can cause third degree burns when touched. On evenings and weekends, the dog lives with executive director Kristin Gies and her family. The dog will be a part of the MNP Inc. team for her life. |

Badgerland Safari Club International, Cafeteria (Outside rear doors)
Sensory Safari offers a unique opportunity to children and adults. It is very special for the visually impaired who focus learning through touch and hearing. Children and adults are escorted by knowledgeable “safari guides” through a variety of touchable displays of animal, fish and bird mounts, skins, skulls and horns. The guides describe the animals and their habitats and behaviors as participants touch and sometimes even hug the displays.
