CENTRAL POINT, Ore. – Learn how to spot and identify animal tracks, splash around in a stream to check out aquatic bugs,
and play “survival of the fish-est.” Join the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, Jackson County Parks, and Rogue
River Watershed Council for Wildlife Wisdom every Saturday from July 12 to Aug. 16.
The interpretive series is free to all, although park locations have small day-use parking fees (unless you have the
Jackson County Parks Pass.)
July 12, 10 a.m. – 11:30 a.m., Cantrall Buckley County Park: Wiggly Water Explorers. Splash around with us to learn
about the organisms that are a vital part of river ecosystems. Equipment is provided.
July 19, 10 a.m. – 11:30 a.m., Joseph Stewart State Recreation Area: Under the Turtle Shell. Life is better under the
turtle shell, and you’ll learn why at this program which focuses on Oregon’s two native turtle species.
July 26, 10 a.m. – 11:30 a.m., Joseph Stewart State Recreation Area: Coats & Shoes, Animal Edition. You’ll learn how to
identify animal tracks, one of the only things wildlife leaves behind.
Aug. 2, 7 p.m. – 8:30 p.m., Joseph Stewart State Recreation Area: Flying Mammals Unleashed, the Nocturnal Life of Bats.
This evening program will help you spread your wings of knowledge about Oregon’s 15 species of bats – the state’s only
flying mammals.
Aug. 9, 10 a.m. – 11:30 p.m., Joseph Stewart State Recreation Area: Tracking Tails, Pursuit of the Wolfpack. We’ll talk
about the tools of the trade for wildlife tracking, and you’ll have the chance to try some equipment while learning
about Oregon’s wolves.
Aug. 16, 10 a.m. – 11:30 a.m., Joseph Stewart State Recreation Area: Survival of the fish-est. The Wildlife Wisdom
interpretive series ends with games, activities, and challenges. We’ll put you to the test to see if you would survive
the arduous life cycle of salmon. Wear comfy shoes.
