Visitors of all ages can enjoy family games, educational activities, and a campus-wide scavenger hunt designed to connect people with the wonders of Southwest Florida’s natural world. Wildlife talks and animal encounters will take place at 11:15 a.m. and 1:15 p.m., offering an up-close look at native species and the Conservancy’s rehabilitation efforts. The Conservancy will also offer its family membership at a discounted rate of $75 if purchased November 15.
