This yearly fest includes “Eyes on Owls” presentations featuring live birds of prey with Mark and Marcia Wilson, naturalist-guided walks, pond explorations, a reptiles and amphibians exhibit, and an Insect Zoo.

Local vendors and crafters will be demonstrating and showcasing their work, and families can even make some crafts of their own. The children’s activities tent is full of fun crafts, and kids will have even more fun in the Green Games Alley.

Take a guided tour of the backyard bird habitat and butterfly gardens, and speak with garden experts about planting to attract birds, butterflies, and other wildlife. The butterfly plant sale features native plants specially selected to attract butterflies.

Some activities will be running throughout the day, while others are scheduled for certain times. There will also be food, home-baked goods, Captain Dusty’s ice cream, face-painting, and a raffle. There is live music throughout the day. Rain or shine.
