This year's special feature will be live owl presentations by Marcia and Mark Wilson of Eyes On Owls. Come see live owls up close, learn about their natural history, and join in a hooting lesson. Crawl inside our demonstration beaver lodge, learn about solar power, sustainability, and being green through exhibits and activities.

Enjoy nature walks, henna, face painting, children's games and activities, reptiles and amphibians, an insect zoo, craft demonstrations, naturalist-guided walks, pond explorations, demonstrations on composting and planting to attract wildlife, food, a bake sale, and much more.

Our plant sale features plants that will attract butterflies and hummingbirds to your garden. Sanctuary garden volunteers will be on hand to give guided tours of our nature gardens and advice on plant selection and gardening.

Lots of owls

We liked the big owl demonstration and the other projects. They need more food variety.
