The recycled crafts program is suitable for all ages to come and put your imagination to work. Each week we will be making a different craft that is inspired by the wildlife of the Mono Basin.
The following animal tracks program will teach you about the different tracks that mammals leave behind in the Mono Basin and a little about where some of these animals live.
The birds and feet program will focus on the adaptations and special qualities of birds that make them so exceptional. Learn about the variety of birds in the Mono Basin and test your knowledge with our trivia activity.
Lastly, but not least, our Mono Lake’s changing habitats program is geared toward children and adults alike. Learn some of the science behind the issue of climate change, why it’s important, and talk about future solutions!
