Reptile Review
for June Park P.A.L.S.
Darke County Park District invites children in kindergarten through 2nd
grade to join them on June 11th from 10am to noon to discover all
things reptiles during Park P.A.L.S! Please note the new 10:00 start
time. This month everyone will meet at the Nature Center on St. Rt. 502
west of Greenville to learn what a reptile really is and which ones can
be found in Darke County. Students will get up close with the Nature
Center’s animal ambassadors and then they will walk the trail to search
for these elusive creatures while discussing how they fit into the
forest ecosystem.
Park P.A.L.S. is a series of monthly programs designed for students of
this age group who are interested in nature. P.A.L.S. stands for
Practicing And Learning Stewardship, and its mission is to develop
future earth stewards through meaningful educational opportunities and
hands-on experiences in the natural world. A fee of $3 is charged for
the program, and preregistration is required. For any questions about
the Park P.A.L.S. program or any other Park District programs or to
register for the June class, please call the Nature Center at (937)
548-0165.
