March 2018 Programs Announced at Baltimore Woods
Baltimore Woods Nature Center announces programs for families and children scheduled for March 2018 with details listed below.
Star Party: Goodbye Winter Skies March 16, 7-9pm
Join Bob Piekiel to say goodbye to winter skies. There will still be great views of Orion and maybe a few Lyrid meteors, as well. Back-up date March 17th. Be sure to dress warmly. Program for all ages. $6 for members; $9 for public.
Amphibian Alert! Watch period from March 21 to April 15
Each spring during the first warm rainy night after the equinox, hundreds of amphibians move from underground lairs to vernal pools. To find out when the nature center staff will attempt to observe this migration at Labrador Hollow, watch for alerts on our website, or sign up online to be put on our alert list. Program will meet at Labrador Hollow Unique Area. Program for ages 5 and up. $6 for members; $9 for public.
March Madness March 24, 10-11:30am
While college basketball teams battle on the hardwoods for title of the best team, we’ll be competing in The Woods to see who survives in games pitting predators vs. prey. Just because you’re a predator doesn’t mean you always get your prey! Predator and prey will compete using hunting, escape, and tracking tactics to see who can survive a morning in The Woods. Program for ages 10 and up. $6 for members; $9 for public. Baltimore Woods Nature Center is located at 4007 Bishop Hill Road, Marcellus. Pre-register online at baltimorewoods.org.
