Bug Rodeo at Pomona Grange (Burlington)

Yee-haw! Let's round up some insects to learn about them! This week, we meet at Pomona Grange Park a little north of Burlington. Then we'll go for a walk in the area to collect some bugs. We'll share the bugs we found, and release them back to their homes in the wild. We'll finish off the morning with a picnic together.

*Note: Latex gloves and clear plastic cups and lids will be provided to help with bug collection and display.
