Whoo Gives a Hoot?
Everyone loves our nocturnal hooting neighbors, but what makes them so awesome? Our Naturalists will teach you all about our native species and what makes them all so very unique.

Arboreal Animals
What’s in that tree?! Is it an opossum, snake or something else? There are so many creatures that call trees home.  Learn about our resident arboreal animals at Chimney Rock and get up close and personal with our live arboreal animal ambassadors.

Spiders
Lots of folks think spiders are creepy, scary and dangerous, but our Naturalists are going to change their minds! Your students will learn all about these eight- legged creatures and why they’re so important to us. We’ll make sure they never look at a spider the same again.

Shelter Building
Imagine being lost on a trail as the sun goes down. One of the most essential things you could do is find or make shelter. This program provides the opportunity to learn how to make shelters out of natural materials. Everyone will enjoy learning how to make an emergency home away from home.
