oon
7
p.m. November 18, Dahlem Environmental Education Center
How often
do people attempt to put human-like characteristics on animals?
Many times we think our pets are a part of the family with the same
feelings and needs have we have. Often
we will even transfer some of these human characteristics to wild animals.
However, when many of us think about or see a wild animal catch and
begin to eat another animal, we are outraged and disgusted.
Predation is a natural and necessary fact of the wild kingdom.
It is one of nature's ways of balancing animal populations with
available food. Predators,
animals that prey on other animals, are nature's population controllers. Join Naturalist Susan Larson on an outdoor nature walk Monday,
November 18 at 7 p.m. to learn more about which predators can be found
in the area and how important they are to the natural world.
The program
will begin indoors at the Dahlem Environmental Education Center with a
short slide show and talk. Participants
will then venture outdoors for some trail activities to the light of the
November moon. Remember to
dress in warm winter clothing, such as hats, mittens, boots and long johns
in order to stay comfortable during the hike excursion.
The event
is being held at the Dahlem Center located at 7117 S. Jackson Road.
Program fees for the evening are $3 for (members are free).
To register call the center at (517) 782-3453.
