Naturalist Program: Creatures of the Marsh

Join a naturalist from Nature Enthusiations to search for creatures that live in and around the pond at Smith Park. 

• Use tools like nets, cups, and field guides to search for ‘marshians’.
• Play marsh bingo.
• Discover how ponds are helpful, why marshes and other wetlands are so important, and the differences between them. 

This is a free, drop-in program. Meet the naturalist 1 - 2:30 p.m. by the dock on the south side of the park near Chicago Avenue and 83rd Street.

• No registration required.
• Limit 12 participants at a time, taken on a first-come, first-served basis.
• IMPORTANT NOTE: Program takes place around water. Please follow all established safety protocols and participate at your own risk.  Nature Enthusiations and the City of Bloomington are not liable.
