Nature Hour: Macroinvertebrates

Kids and families can get to know the natural world with the SLC Park Rangers! This summer, the Rangers will lead a different activity at a few of our City Library branches.

Solar Printing: Make a Cyanotype Print by using the sun to create beautiful images from materials you find on nature walks.

Full schedule:
- Fri, June 12, 11am — Ballpark Playground (1560 S W Temple St): Mason Bee Houses
Children can explore the fascinating world of mason bees while building their own bee houses to take home. This hands-on summer program teaches the importance of pollinators and how kids can help support healthy ecosystems in their own backyards.
- Thurs, June 18, 11am — Day-Riverside Branch: Macroinvertebrates
Learn about some of the smallest animals, macroinvertebrates, who live in our city’s streams, ponds, and wetlands. We'll be outside, so dress appropriately and wear sunscreen!
- Mon, July 13, 2pm — Glendale Branch: Animal Tracks
Animal footprints tell a story about what they do and where they have been. Join the SLC Park Rangers for a craft activity exploring the ways in which animals teach us about themselves using only their feet.
- Mon, July 27, 11am — Sprague Branch: Solar Printing
Make a Cyanotype Print by using the sun to create beautiful images from materials you find on nature walks.
