Families with children are invited to this summer’s Wild Wednesday series at the W.K. Kellogg Bird Sanctuary. Kids can join a naturalist along the trail for a fun, interactive activity, then enjoy a nature-themed craft or more chances to explore the outdoors. While all ages are welcome, the program is geared toward children ages 3-8.
All programs run from 10 to 11:30 a.m. on select Wednesdays at the Sanctuary, with no advance registration required. Admission is free for Sanctuary members, and standard admission is charged for non-members ($6/adult, $5/student or senior, and $4/child; free for children under the age of 2).
The Wild Wednesday themes include:
• June 24: Soil life
• July 1: Birdy bites and beak types
• July 8: Bird detective
• July 15: Slither science
• July 22: Seed adventures
The Bird Sanctuary is located at 12685 E. C Avenue in Augusta. To learn more, visit birdsanctuary.kbs.msu.edu or call 269-671-2510.
The W.K. Kellogg Bird Sanctuary’s mission is to conserve native habitat for migratory and resident birds and to promote environmental awareness through research, education and outreach.
