In this one-day workshop, we’ll be learning about the inspirational Kenyan ecologist, Wangari Maathai, & her work in the Greenbelt movement.
We’ll end the day dissecting a virtual or real owl pellet, identifying bones & observing what owls eat. It’s a great introduction to food webs, & animal habitats, the science of ecology & our connection to nature and the world around us.
