Take a walk in the woods as you observe the plants and look for signs of animal life, then head indoors to compare and contrast reptiles and mammals with our live animal ambassadors. Complete your experience with a hands-on forest floor investigation learning about decomposers, invertebrates, and the living and non-living components of this dynamic ecosystem.
