Every animal has a story so the Denison Pequotsepos Nature Center is going to share how animals tell theirs by using their senses! During this program families will investigate the keen senses of various animals and how they use them in order to survive. The center will use a combination of books and live animals to showcase how snakes, turtles, frogs and even owls use certain senses to connect with the world.

Sign up and receive an email the day of the program with our ZOOM meeting number and password to join in the animal fun! For the entire family.
