Polk

Mini Field Trip - Life in a Log (9:30-11:30) FREE

Wednesday, May 5, 2021

We recognize school learning looks different this year for all of us. To provide outdoor learning opportunities for school age children that may be learning at home, we’re offering mini two-hour field trips in a small group setting with a naturalist. Each small group will consist of five learning pods. A pod may consist of a parent with their children and their children’s friends. Adults must attend with children.  

Explore the forest looking for the hidden life in a log with a Polk County Naturalist.  We will discover the critters and fungus helping the once mighty tree break down into soil.  Discussion on the life cycle of the forest and the role of decomposition.  Wear your hiking shoes for a fun filled woodland hike.  

List the number of participants in the comment section.  

Our top priority has been and will continue to be the health and well-being of the public and the staff. In response to the ongoing development of COVID-19, Polk County Conservation programs will adhere to social distancing, smaller group size, increased sanitation and mandatory facemasks.
