Animal Homes and Habitats - In School
Description
You don't have to travel the world to learn about habitats- Illinois features its own rich landscapes with animals adapted to their harsh extremes. Students will build a beautiful habitat model for a local animal, make connections between adaptations and environmental features, and discuss cause-and-effect relationships in habitats.
Our recommended capacity for in-school programs is 30 students to ensure everyone gets the best hands-on experience, but they can also be done as an auditorium style presentation for larger groups if needed.
Offered At
Wild Roots Nature Center
Wild Roots Nature Center at Severson Dells Forest Preserve sits on 369 acres of prairie, savanna, and forest and features a winding creek lined with ancient rock walls. The land and lodge were donated to the Forest Preserves of Winnebago County by Harry and Fannie Severson in 1975, and the Nature Center was established in 1976. Our mission is to inspire conservation of nature through education and stewardship, cultivating connections between people and place.
Your group leaders will include our staff, AmeriCorps service members, and fabulous volunteers.
