Natural History Road Show
Presented by the Wagner Free Institute of Science and a panel of experts specializing in plants, shells, insects, rocks and minerals
Presentation at 1 PM
Road Show from 2 - 4 PM
The talk will be sign language interpreted.
Is that fossil from the Cambrian or Philadelphian era? Is that shell you found last summer a conch or a nautilus? What exactly is that insect you found under your bed last night? Where did the seeds for that plant in your backyard originally come from?
Join us as we host our first Natural History Road Show!! Bring your rocks, minerals, and fossils. Bring any plants - native and rare - to Botanist Karen Snetselaar. Ask entomologist Greg Cowper all those questions about insects that have been bugging you. Malacological experts Betty Ruggeri and Gary Rosenberg will reveal the secrets found inside your summer shells.
Due to the National Landmark status of the Institute, live animals are prohibited.
