River Bugs Are Cool
Learn how bugs can unlock secrets about the San Diego River’s health! Work with scientists to collect a sample and examine real living aquatic bugs, play games, and take home an activity book. Supplies will be provided, but please wear clothes that can get a little dirty. The activity takes about one hour, and we will have three rotations (all with the same activities). Rotations begin on the hour at 10:00, 11:00 and noon.
County Parks and Recreation - Live Well San Diego
Our rangers will be showing specimens of San Diego’s common animal species. Participants will be able to touch animal pelts, see real taxidermy and learn about local wildlife! Our Animal Ambassador Raptor Team will also be onsite. Learn what these birds of prey look like up close, where they live, what they eat, how they hunt and what survival skills they’ve picked up over time, to help them thrive in San Diego’s diverse environments.
Living Coast Discovery Center
Our booth will have biofacts about local wildlife, information about our programs, an activity about food sorting, and an animal ambassador.
