We had a great time with Bethesda Elementary at our 3rd Grade Field Day today! We discussed wetlands, their functions, and all the plants and animals that live there.

We had a great time at @DurhamCountyLib's Fall Ball for All this past Saturday! We connected with residents, shared resources on our programs, and had several crafts for visitors to make.

Thanks for having us!

Practicing conservation is as easy as leaving your leaves. Allowing leaves to decompose rather than placing them in yard waste bins benefits our wildlife, soil, and you!

Every Fall, groups from across Durham come together to clean their local neighborhoods, parks, & streams for #DurhamBigSweep! This is a great opportunity to clean up a littered area that's been bugging you, meet new people, or get to know Durham better. https://t.co/i1CExHfiOb
