Spring Bug Safari

Prowl the prairie with a ranger and learn about different bug-collecting techniques!

From pollinating flowers and feeding animals to keeping soil healthy, bugs are the foundation for all life on land, including ours! Scientists study arthropods to learn about how they keep the world healthy, but to do that, they need to catch them! Join one of our rangers for a guided bug hunt through Penn Farm.
