Offered for the first time in 2023, this program is a partnership between IGB and the Urbana Park District to offer a series of free community programs that explore our local wildlife. At each event, community members can enjoy a presentation from local experts on a particular type of animal, join a guided outdoor walk, share complimentary snacks inspired by the diets and natural history of the featured animals, and participate in a craft project that supports our local wildlife populations.
