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 highlight.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
Learn!
