Going Back Thru Time: Open House

Families can treat themselves to a different type of Halloween.  Gather around the Tule Hut and listen to stories of the "Spirits of Tyson Lagoon."  They can earn treats by going to the different stations and learn about nature at Tule Ponds at Tyson Lagoon.  They can pick bones from owl pellets and learn how wildlife biologist use the bones to help determine the food chain.  They can also learn how seeds germinate by dissecting different pumpkin seeds.  Before they start they will make their own nature trick and treat bag, so they can collect prizes and they learn about nature at Tule Ponds
