Refuge staff will be going to visit Asociación Puertorriqueños en Marcha's campus in Philadelphia and doing some bug programming. We will be bringing out sweep nets, bug boxes, and bug identifying pamphlets so the kids can have an amazing experience looking at bugs up close! 

We will be going on a kayaking adventure in the Darby Creek with some of the older youths from Asociación Puertorriqueños en Marcha! We will be going with LL Bean's Outdoor Discovery Program, and would like to thank them for their support! 

We are so excited to invite you to our free fishing nights at John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge! We are offering free fishing for all ages with limited rods and bait available, or bring your own. We will also be discussing influential Latinos working in conservation fields around the world in history and today. We can't wait to see you here! 

We often forget the environmental wisdom and resourcefulness of previous generations when acculturating to modern conservation practices, especially when immigrating to a new country. Embark in a listening journey that centers cultura during a dialogue between Senior Bilingual Education Specialist Gina Carrillo (Mexican-American), STEM Integration Specialist Athena Barrios (Chicana), and Sustainability Manager Claudia Pineda Tibbs (first-generation Salvadoran-American). Viewers will be able to ask questions via chat in English y en español.

This is a free event which will include a 20-minute talk about pollination and several species of pollinators that live on Muscatatuck National Wildlife Refuge. There will be an emphasis on Monarch butterflies, which are an important part of the ecosystem at Muscatatuck. The talk will discuss the importance of these pollinators for wildlands, other animals, and for the plants they help pollinate as well as their importance for humans as they provide a great economic service.

After the talk, there will be a crafts activity for children and families (something relatively contactless such as coloring a pre-cut monarch butterfly mask). A free lunch will also be provided.

The event will take place outside in the parking lot of Muscatatuck NWR's Visitor Center to accommodate for COVID restrictions.

Hike from the Visitor Center to Cemetery Ridge where fighting raged on July 2 & 3, 1863. Get an overview of the battle, visit the site of Pickett's Charge, and walk in the footsteps of the men who struggled there. Meet at Ranger Site 1 - behind the museum & Visitor Center

Join PEEC for a paddle around our ponds! Beginners are welcome - they teach you everything you need to know! Dress appropriately - you may get wet. Call in advance to reserve a boat.
