Budding Explorers: Creatures of the Night
- When: Saturday, November 1, 2025, 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
- Location: JC Raulston Arboretum at NC State University, 4415 Beryl Road, Raleigh, NC 27606
- Cost: $8 per participant. No cost for accompanying adult.
Youth participants, accompanied by an adult, will investigate how mammals in North Carolina have adapted to life after dark. Through interactive activities and a garden adventure, we 'll explore the special senses that help nocturnal creatures thrive at night and search for signs of the animals that may have visited the JCRA while we were asleep.
You'll also get an introduction to ecoEXPLORE, an incentive-based community science program developed by The North Carolina Arboretum. By making real-world observations and completing fun challenges, youth participants can earn badges and prizes throughout the year.
Suggested for 8 to 10 years old.
