Learn about how some our favorite animals came to be how we know them today! From wooly mammoths to narwhals, to the common house pet, let’s explore the important roles our animal friends play in our ecosystem and how they've evolved to be so unique!

Community Education uses a sliding scale model for program fees so our afterschool programs can be financially sustainable and more equitable. Families are asked to pick the price that they are able to pay. By more clearly articulating our lower cost options, we have removed the barrier that some may have felt in making scholarship requests. When families participate at the higher price levels, they help make the program more sustainable.
