About This Activity
Celebrate the diversity of our state’s wildlife and ecoregions by using all five senses to explore the ways local flora and fauna communicate in the wild. • Heightened senses. Campers will learn pneumonic devices to recognize common bird calls and discover how mammals use scent communication to send a variety of different signals. • What a catch! Campers spend the day at Lake Bastrop to learn how to fish and discover different kinds of bait. • Snakes, turtles and gators, oh my! Campers will meet our animal ambassadors and learn what helps these animals adapt to their environment. • Animal superpowers. Campers will identify mammal furs by touch and determine which species are carnivores, herbivores or omnivores by their skulls. • A new way to communicate. Campers will discover the unique traits of mycorrhizal fungi and how it acts as the social network of the forest floor in heathy ecosystems.
