Havenwoods State Forest
Insect Safari
With curiosity and collecting equipment to aid us, we will explore the "wilds" of Havenwoods for insects and their relatives. We'll investigate their exciting world and learn how they live. Through exploration, riddles, and activities, the children will discover these small creatures' characteristics and adaptations.
