Jennings holds nature detectives

BRADY TWP — Families are invited to become nature detectives from 2 to 4 p.m. May 17 at Jennings Environmental Education Center.

Crayfish live in a variety of freshwater habitats and emerge at night to hunt. After some indoor, introductory activities and hints about what to look for, detectives-in-training will move outdoors to search for answers and solve one of nature’s seasonal mysteries: what crayfish are hiding and what they are hunting for.

The nature detectives series is designed for families with children ages 6 and older, as well as anyone who is a child at heart. Participants should dress appropriately for the weather and expect to participate in an outdoor learning adventure, rain or shine.

Registration is required by May 8, and space is limited. Register by calling 724-794-6011. Indicate the number of adults and number and ages of children being registered.
