We had a blast at the Juan de Fuca Festival of the Arts today! 🎨🐾🎶

Thanks to everyone who swung by the booth. We tried out two new activities: animal track painting and pressing tracks into sand. 🐾🐾🐾

What do you all think? Should we try this again at another event?

We got a mystery on our feathers! We loved hearing everyone's voicemails from our nest pop-up table here at the center. The birds need some help responding to all of your messages, so take a listen and tell us who you think our mystery bird could be. Audio discretion to headphone users ❓🐦‍⬛❓

Last month we had a lovely wildflower walk through the Lower Dungeness. Saw trillium, calypso orchids, fawn lilies, chocolate lilies, and more! The Center is leading just two more walks before June, where we'll move into the Upper Dungeness and visit Deer Park. There is still space available May 13 & 15 if you'd like to join our educators on a forested flower excursion! 🌸
