Sunday, February 22, 2026

1:00 p.m.–2:00 p.m.

Ever wondered where insects go in the winter? Curious about bugs even though they give you the heebie jeebies? Take advantage of the unique opportunity that winter provides to learn about bugs while they’re inactive. Join the Urban Park Rangers on a hands-on exploration into the secret life of bugs. Learn about the work of Black scientists who saw beauty in even the lowliest of critters.
