Have Fun & Learn To!

Wyoming Children’s Museum and Nature Center received an Urban and Community Forestry Cost Share grant to develop a forest exhibit.  The exhibit features samples of different tree species, animals that live in the woods, products made from trees, insects and a marked tree walk through La Bonte Park.  The new library has several new books with topics on trees, animals and insects.  A hands-on discovery table provides many fun activities for children and adults to learn about nature.  Many of the exhibits are designed to encourage adult and child interaction.  Stop by and see the many changes that have been made at the museum.
