Beneath every rock, within every tree, and under our very own feet, there is life. There it waits for young scientists to see it, observe it, and remember it. Challenge yourself in this competition to find the most types of plants, animals, and other life that you can find. There have been more than 1,200 species found at Del Valle, but there are probably still hundreds more yet to be found! Can we work together to find them? Let’s find out in this wild program for young scientists 12 and under and their families. Presented in English with Spanish translation available, so everyone can join the fun!
