Take a Penny Hike!
Raccoons, bobcats, deer, and birds all live here, but many creatures of the forest are small and may go unnoticed because of their size. See what you can find in an area the size of a penny or smaller and record your findings below!
- Dung beetles roll poop on the forest floor! It’s a dirty job, but somebody’s got to do it!
- Fungi like mushrooms break down dead things, making food for things still alive!
- A cocoon is a sign of a life soon to emerge. Butterflies spread pollen to help the flowers grow!
