Upcoming Science ATL Events
Nature Navigators: Bugs of Yellow River Park
June 21, 2025
Come with us to explore the ecosystems of Yellow River Park. Inspired by our summer book club theme, we'll be spending a lot of time looking down on this walk - on the hunt for bugs of all varieties! We'll have nets to catch aquatic bugs and bug boxes to take a closer look at the terrestrial insects we find!
Nature Navigators leads us on adventures into (& out of) the green spaces found in & around Atlanta, while exposing the countless science experiments that nature is constantly running and how humans observe, influence, and are influenced by the natural world.
Consider these hikes as more of a scientific expedition through our local ecosystems. To that end, our entire journey will be a type of observational study and along the way we'll be making frequent stops to appreciate & ask questions about our surroundings.
Be prepared, it's almost time to slip away into the wild & ask nature why it's so weird! Pack water, snacks or a mobile meal, a smile and whatever else is appropriate for the respective adventure. Children are always welcome as long as they are able! Or you can backpack them!! Well behaved dogs are welcome so long as they remain leashed in accordance with local regulations.
