Get up close with a live Michigan snake and discover how scientists study animals in the wild! Join graduate student Hannah at MSU’s Kellogg Bird Sanctuary for a fun, hands-on program designed especially for elementary-aged learners.
During this one-hour session, participants will:
- Meet a live snake and observe its movements and features up close
- Learn where snakes live, what they eat, and why they are important to healthy ecosystems
- Bust common myths and build confidence around these often-misunderstood animals
- Join a hands-on activity to see how scientists study animals and how nature, animals, and people stay healthy together
After the program, families are invited to stay and enjoy self-guided crafts, playtime in the Overlook, and a storybook walk featuring I (Don’t) Like Snakes by Nicola Davies.
Free for members; non-members may pay admission at the door.
