PALS and Jr.
Naturalist classes available
Several students joined the Darke County Parks for the Park P.A.L.S.
class, “What’s that Smell?” in October to see if they could figure out
which animal leaves behind such a strong smell. Class began by
looking at skunk furs and skulls and talking about the unique
characteristics of our Striped Skunk. The students also explored
the 4 Skunk species that are found in North America. After some
indoor activities, the class hit the trails looking for signs of
skunks. Class finished up with a game of skunk tag and a craft.
If your Kindergarten through 2nd grade child missed out on this Park
P.A.L.S. class and would like to attend our next class, join us on
Saturday, November 15th for Buggy Bugs from 9:30-12:00.
There are also monthly programs available for 3rd through 6th graders
