Visiting Gore Nature Education Center
Date: Friday, May 20th, 2022
Time:10:00 am – 11:30 am
Cost: $15 per student
Age: 6-11
Duration: 90 minutes
Learning Objective:
Join us at the Gore Nature Education Center as we learn about owls! Students will find out what unique adaptations these raptors have that enable them to survive in the Everglades.
We will examine the owl’s habitats during our 90-minute program and even take a gentle walk through some of the preserve’s trails as we search for these incredible animals. Each student will dissect an owl pellet. What’s an owl pellet? Pellets are the undigested parts of a bird’s food, such as hair or bones, which are regurgitated (coughed up through the beak). As the student dissects the owl pellet, we will attempt to identify the bones to determine what the owls have been eating.
This class is designed for children aged 6-11 and costs $15 per participating student. Siblings are always welcome.
