Jim presented a great program for over 30
people. With live Michigan Salamanders
we learned their life
cycle, where we
will find them and why they are often
hard to
find. Every program Jim and
Carol
present is always enjoyed by
both kids
and
adults. Don't miss their next program!
Jim McGrath of Nature
Discoveries Returns
with more
“Creatures” for the kids to see
and
touch.
The Michigan Wildlife Sampler format calls on
Nature Discovery to choose which
wildlife species to
feature.
Since they are
especially
renowned for their live
reptiles
and amphibians, some of
these are always
incorporated into the
presentation.
They also commonly
choose an insect or
other invertebrate, a bird, a mammal or
a
fish, and possibly a wild plant to
highlig ht.
You never know
what you will encounter when Jim and
Carol McGraff
present their Nature
Discoveries
program. But
what you will
do is enjoy one of our most popular
programs
ever, Have Fun and
