– Join the Environmental Educators on a virtual stroll through the Winter landscape to learn about the owls that might be spotted throughout the Greenbelt. You’ll learn about what an owl pellet is, and observe as the Educators dissect an owl pellet that they found right here in High Rock Park. They’ll even show you how to identify some of the bones that are found inside! Arrangements will be made for you to come and pick up your very own owl pellet so that you can reveal the mysteries inside and learn a bit more about some of Staten Island’s most mysterious birds of prey, from the comfort of your own home! Best for ages 7+. Please preregister for this event via EventBrite. – FrogWatch USA is a nationwide community science program that monitors and tracks amphibian populations by collecting data with help from volunteers like you! Learn how to identify local frog species, their importance in wetland ecosystems, and more. This 90 minute online training session will certify participants as FrogWatch USA volunteers. – Join us, from the comfort of your own home or school, and meet some of the unique animal ambassadors at our Greenbelt Education facilities. During this virtual program you will get up close and personal with snakes, turtles, frogs and much more! Our educators will address your questions and help the group learn about the natural history of these amazing animals.
