Parks Naturalists Carol Clements and Matt Noble-Richardson hold a Burmese Python with Nelson at Wildlife Safari. The snake is more than 12 feet long and weighs 400 pounds. It was just one of a large number of animals kids and adults were able to see and touch (if they wanted to do so) at one of last year's events sponsored by the Friends. Did you know that Nankin Mills... Was once owned by Henry Ford? Now tells the natural and cultural history of the area? Has a number of fish, reptiles and amphibians, including a large snapping turtle named Sue on display? Provides a large number of interactive displays for kids? Hosts a variety of
programs and events for individuals, families |
