SNAKES, SPIDERS, AND BUGS ……OH MY!
When we talk about how Natives respected animals in nature, the discussion is typically centered around well-loved animals like bear, eagle, buffalo, and wolf. But what about our smaller animal neighbors? Join us as Amber Roth talks about the frequently misunderstood creatures of the often-unseen aspects of our environment. From pollination to pest control and from forest clean up to disease control, learn how our tiniest neighbors can provide some of the biggest benefits. Circumstances permitting, there may also be a chance to meet some of the animal friends we discuss! Participants will receive seeds to support important native pollinators and stickers designed by Amber herself! Class begins at 2pm on the following days: July 5th, August 2nd.
