Opera on the Lawn
This family-friendly pond dipping adventure invites young explorers to uncover the fascinating mini-beasts that live beneath the surface of our ponds. From the water’s edge, children will scoop, observe and investigate the tiny creatures that call these freshwater habitats home.
Through fun, hands-on exploration, children will learn more about pond life, freshwater habitats and the important role these amazing underwater residents play in a healthy ecosystem.
