Join Wehr Nature Center as we dig deep into the world beneath our feet.

Join Wehr Nature Center as we dig deep into the world beneath our feet. Children will meet chipmunks, ants, earthworms, and more in this interactive, underground adventure. We will delve into the mysteries of how these animals survive underfoot. Following a “groundbreaking” story, children will get up close and personal with earthworm and participate in a variety of activities that allow them to see what it’s like to live in a world beneath the surface.
