Happy 250th birthday, America! There's no better way to celebrate than by recognizing the astounding biodiversity found across our natural areas and the incredible life our ecosystems hold.
Come along on a hike to learn about host plants and explore some of the animal life that depends on them, including moths, butterflies, bees, and beetles. We’ll look for caterpillars and more and identify plants along the way! These insects and other arthropods in turn support mammals and birds, too!
