Check out one of our educational programs and connect with Community Groups who are making a difference.

Here's what is happening at the event:

 

4:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.:  Celebrate Earth Day by learning about women in science with Heather L Montgomery. Let's look at the wild discoveries made by women. Students practice asking questions, hear stories of perseverance and learn how women of science have changed the world! 

 

6:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.: What's That Slithering in the Grass?  Earth Day is a great time to reacquaint oneself with the serpents that call Alabama home.  A simple external shape belies a complex internal structure.  Live reptiles will be on site for handling ... if you dare!  Prepare to be amazed!!  Presented by Beth Girard, Master Naturalist. 

 

Earth Day is in partnership with Madison Greenways and Trails.

 

This program is in Auditorium #1.
