Bourbonnais, Ill. – A four-part Wildlife Wednesdays series will begin March 4 at the Exploration Station, offering weekly hands-on lessons about Illinois native wildlife.
According to the Bourbonnais Township Park District, the program runs each Wednesday in March from 5 to 6 p.m. at the Exploration Station, 1095 W. Perry St. Each session highlights a different group of animals — including insects, amphibians and reptiles, birds, and mammals — and explores how they adapt to winter and transition into spring.
Organizers said participants will learn about migration patterns, hibernation behaviors, and seasonal changes that signal spring’s arrival. Sessions include skill-building activities, pelts, and hands-on specimens. The series is led by Instructor Mitchell GoodKnecht (ACCO).
The cost is $2 per person, per session, and all ages are welcome.
The March dates include March 4, March 11, March 18, and March 25. Registration is required through the park district’s website.
The program offers an affordable midweek activity for families, students, and residents interested in local wildlife education as winter transitions to spring.
