What makes owls kings of the night? Bring your unit to life with a visit from live owls! Students will observe the structures of the owl and learn how these help the owl live nocturnally. Discover the needs and life cycles of these unique animals. Touch and examine wings, feathers, and talons. Identify the owls by listening to real calls and see an owl pellet.

Ernie Miller Park is JCPRD's 116-acre nature park consisting of a diverse range of habitats including tallgrass prairies, upland meadows, bottom land forest and a beautiful stream to explore.
The park also features an outdoor amphitheater with seating for 80 persons, picnic shelter, nature center and three miles of nature trails.
Our interpretive programs provide environmental and historical awareness and “hands on” educational experiences for students (for both school and home school) from kindergarten through sixth grade. With experience and educational backgrounds in the areas of natural resource management, fisheries and wildlife, biology, ecology, anthropology, outdoor recreation and education, the programs are taught by our very own JCPRD Park Police and Naturalists.
