About This Event
Calling all bug lovers, bug skeptics, nature nerds, and everyone in between.
Explore Plaster Creek Park’s meadow, learn how conservation impacts the insect populations, get more comfortable with bugs, and enjoy a variety of bug-themed activities with local partners. This event is suitable for everyone interested in ecology, insects, conservation, and exploring our parks!
- Free native plants (first come, first served!)
- Make a free lino cut print: one per person, bring your own item of clothing or paper product to print on, or we’ll have paper!
- Learn about the habitat restoration that is happening at Plaster Creek Family Park
- See, touch, learn about isopods
- Look at bugs under microscopes, both terrestrial and aquatic macroinvertebrates
- Bug netting (nets provided)
- Sidewalk chalk art
Celebrating Bugs with Art
All our events like the Incredible Insect Extravaganza are free thanks to the power of community. If you’d like to support future free community events by making a financial gift of $25 or more (you’ll have the option during event registration), we’d like to say “thank you” with a poster from our Park Exploration poster series! The first 10 attendees to register and make a donation will receive a poster.
PLAY:GR was designed by Stephanie Ellis and celebrates all the ways to play in a park.
Any gifts made on-site qualify to receive a poster as a thank you! Please note we encourage online donations as we cannot make or keep change.
