Am I a Conservationist? Join 4-H in partnership with the Children's Museum of Illinois to find out! Learn what conservation is, four different kinds of conservation with a primary focus on wildlife conservation, and leave with some freebies and more information about how to make conservation an everyday practice.
Our presenter Daryl Coates has been in wildlife conservation for over 30 years, spent 23 years as a state biologist with the Illinois Department of Nature Resources, and has a Masters in Zoology.
Youth will learn what they can do in their backyards to help wildlife habitats and how native plants and species help our local ecosystems thrive.
The program is intended for youth ages 8+
Family members ages 2+ $5/person, family max $15.
Stay and Play! Youth are welcome to play in the Children's Museum after the presentation.
