Pond Exploration 7/6/2026

About This Program

Discover what lies beneath the surface of the pond!

Families with children ages 7 and up will get an opportunity to explore an environmental educator led program that allows them to search for aquatic insects, tadpoles, and other pond inhabitants. Participants will learn how these animals help make a healthy ecosystem and what makes a pond so special! This hands-on program is a great way to get up close with some fascinating and otherwise hidden friends that call Pfister's Pond home.
