We can tell a great deal about an animal’s adaptations by looking at their skins and skulls. We’ll spend time learning about different animals that live in the park by examining them hands on! We have a fun game to play to test your skills. Please meet at Canoe Landing. Suitable for all ages. Wear appropriate clothing and shoes for the weather and bring a water bottle with you. Parks are for everyone, please let us know if you need special accommodation. For more information, please call (434) 933-8527 or email Tess. Himelspach@dcr.virginia.gov .
