The Audubon Center at Riverlands is back with our summer series, Field Day Friday! Join Audubon and Army Corps of Engineer staff at Riverlands Migratory Bird Sanctuary to experience nature and learn what kind of plants, animals, flying, and crawling creatures spend their time here! Come explore Riverlands with friends, family, or as a solo participant. These 1.5-hour sessions are FREE to the public and will take place outdoors at our Nature Amphitheater.  Registration is encouraged to manage and limit group size*.

*Tickets are limited to 6 youth per group in order to ensure that many families have the opportunity to enjoy these free programs. Families can register for participating youth; attending/chaperoning adults do not need to fill out a registration. 

Butterflies and moths are one of the largest groups of animals in the world, formally called “Lepidoptera”! In celebration of National Moth Week (July 20th-28th), we will be exploring the differences and similarities between butterflies and moths. Participants will also get to practice sweep netting for these critters in our native plant garden.
