Herps walk, crawl, jump, slither and creep. But what are herps? Students will become junior herpetologists as they explore characteristics, adaptations, and unique facts through fun, interactive activities. They'll also meet some herps up close indoors and then go outdoors to search for them in their native habitats.
10 a.m. to noon at Powder Valley Conservation Nature Center in Kirkwood, near the intersection of I-44 and I-270.
Call 314-301-1500 for reservations. Free. For ages 7-12.
