Into the Wild: Nature Open House

Step into the wild with seeds, snakes, bats and butterflies!

Calling all nature lovers! Are you curious about the creatures around you? This event will have nature displays, live snakes (non-venomous!), and guests from the Pollinatarium and the Anita Purves Nature Center. 

Are you scared of snakes or bats? We’ve got two mini-talks to help you get more curious and less afraid!

• 1:20 p.m. — Mini-Talk on Illinois Snakes: Kayla Duff raises snakes and loves to talk about their unique and surprising habits. She’s bringing some of her own snakes for you to see!
• 1:45 p.m. — Mini-Talk on Bats: Lizz Belkie studies bats and she’ll show photos and tell us more about the interesting lives of these amazing creatures.

All ages are welcome!

Cosponsored by the Urbana Park District and the University of Illinois Pollinatarium.
