Other activities include presentations on native plants, bats, wildlife conservation, gardening, astronomy, geology, and local birds. Guests will also be able to view an active Bald Eagle nest.

The kids can paint birdhouses at the crafts station while parents enjoy the exhibits. Bird lovers of all ages can learn how to attract our avian friends using nest boxes and feeders. Bird identification walks and native plant walks will be held throughout the day. Amateur astronomers will have telescopes available to safely observe sunspots outside the park lodge.
