Though they are small, ponds are known for their rich variety of plant and animal life. Come explore Waterfowl Pond for a close-up look at a place where hundreds of hungry creatures are always on the hunt.

Using nets and other collecting equipment, we'll dip into the water, sweep through the weeds, and scoop up some mud to discover the creatures that live there. Preregistration is required.
