Location: Northlake Nature Center, 23127 Highway 190, Mandeville, LA 70448
Spiders, snakes, bugs and other creepy crawlies get a bad reputation… but they have some pretty important jobs to do!
Join Nature on the Geaux at Northlake Nature Center for a special October Family Nature Adventure as we take a closer look at some of nature's most misunderstood creatures.
Meet a few live animal ambassadors, discover the important roles these animals play in our ecosystems, and then head out to explore Northlake in search of creepy critters and the clues they leave behind.
This is a family program, so grown-ups are encouraged to explore and investigate right alongside their kids!
