Enjoy Pond Exploration Saturday at Sands Point Preserve

Visit Sands Point Preserve with the kids on Saturday, June 20, at 11 a.m. or 12 p.m., for Pond Exploration.

The Preserve’s freshwater pond and its surroundings provide a beautiful habitat for birds, reptiles, amphibians, mammals, and insects – all of which are particularly active right now. It’s the perfect time to get our hands dirty while exploring the site with nets, buckets, and magnifying lenses. For a close-up view, bring a clean (preferably white) washed and rinsed take-out container (we will have some to share). Wear shoes, sneakers, or boots that can get muddy!

Admission is $15 per car or $5 per car with Annual Pass. Preregistration is required. Please email your name and the number of adults and children (with their ages) to info@friendsspp.org.
