Activity Pop-in: Birds & Insects
Address
We welcome families and individuals of all abilities to join us! This inclusive program will be held in cooperation with the Autism Society of Greater Akron.
Our focus will be on finding and learning about some of the birds and insects that live in Towner's Woods Park. Due to the pandemic, this will be a self-guided exploration, however staff and volunteers will be available to answer questions and explain how to use the equipment. Participants can choose a time slot to borrow either binoculars (1 set of binoculars per family) or insect nets (1 per person; maximum 3 per family). Equipment will be disinfected between users. Free field guides for birds of Ohio and butterflies of Ohio will be given to each participant. A hands-on activity will also be available to take home.
For the safety of our staff and participants, we ask that you practice social distancing and wear facial masks while picking up your supplies. We understand that some individuals may have difficulty wearing a mask, but ask that attendees comply with the Governor's orders to the extent possible.
You can view maps and information about Towner's Woods Park prior to your arrival. Please meet us at the gazebo. It sits near the beginning of the Lakeside Trail and is visible from the parking lot. If you have questions, please contact Jennifer at jcwhite@portageparkdistrict.org or 330-813-8023.
