Virtual Close Encounter: Food Chains and Webs

Description

SOLD OUT

During this 30-minute program, your group will meet 3 different animal ambassadors and learn about their role within their food chains. As we dive deeper into the flow of energy within each food chain, we will discuss the differences between producers, consumers, and decomposers. Participants will discover that animals rely on both living and non-living things within their ecosystems to survive. By attending this program, we hope that participants gain a greater appreciation for protecting wildlife and the habitats that they live in. This booking includes digital learning resources and a test call with one of our education staff members.

Cost: $175 per program
