What are the birds, mammals and insects doing in the forest around the Pratt Museum? Join local artist-naturalist Kim McNett to investigate the forest trails and search for clues! We will look for foot prints, fur, feathers, scat, scratches and other signs that reveal what the wild animals have been up to lately. Using a nature journal, we will draw and record the mysteries that we uncover.
