Nature Field Trip

November 9th (Wednesday) from 10am – Noon

Deer Flat Wildlife Refuge
13751 Upper Embankment Rd
Nampa, ID 83686

Come join us for a fabulous nature field trip. The staff at the Deer Flat Wildlife Refuge are excited to present fascinating classes on animal camouflage.  From arctic hares to sand spiders to leafy sea dragons, learn how animals hide and hunt by blending into their surroundings.

First class for grades K-6 will begin at 10 am.
Older kids can browse the fascinating children's
activity areas the visitor's center has to offer.

2nd class, for grades 7-12 will begin about 10:30
and will focus more on the technical aspects of camouflage...
such as chemical camouflage.  Younger kids can browse the
activity areas during this class.

After both classes there will be a guided nature walk
on the grounds if weather allows.

No cost.  Contact Ruth Hansen with questions.  208-466-0667
