Each interest point may contain:

  • Short videos and pictures of the actual site
  • Educational videos from the internet
  • Activities to do at home

Scroll over the habitat images below to begin exploring!

Meadow

The meadow is a wide open area with lots of tall plants. It is a very sunny place due to the lack of shady trees and many of the plants and animals have adapted to be able to withstand the sun. Many insects and spiders call the meadow home!

Woodland

The woodland is a habitat with lots of tall trees. Many insects and invertebrates can be found in and under fallen logs on the woodland floor, while mammals and birds actively go about their day!

Stream

The stream is a running water habitat. Streams play a vital role in providing water for the organisms in the park. Careful exploration of the stream can result in finding many living organisms under rocks and along the stream bank.
