SUMMARY:Insects:Nature's Pollinators
DESCRIPTION:Location: The Urban Ecology Center at Phil Hardberger Park\, 8400 NW Military Hwy\, San Antonio\, TX 78231 \n\n\n\nThis is a two-part event: \n\n\n\nPart 1: Families with upper elementary age children and adults should arrive by 7:50 am to register for an 8 am sharp Entomology Talk covering types of insect\, morphology\, and the critical role of insects as pollinators. Then join families with younger children on the savanna for an hour of insect catch\, ID\, and release. We will provide nets. \n\n\n\nPart 2: Families with younger children should arrive and sign-in by 8:50 to join the earlier group as it moves from the classroom to the savanna. \n\n\n\nSpecial Note: Definitely wear long pants and bring insect repellant and\, sunscreen. We will be walking on sunny grassy areas. \n\n\n\nOur objective is to learn about insects\, identify some of the more common species found in our local area\, and learn the role of insects in the environment. The event will be led by Nicolas Phillips an expert student of Entomology\, an award-winning insect collector\, and an Integrated Pest Control professional. Nicolas has been an enthusiast and lover of insects since early childhood and brings his passion and knowledge to our park. \n\n\n\nThe morning begins in the small classroom with an hour overview of all you ever wanted to know about these arthropods. We will then move to the nearby savanna where families with younger children will join us to catch\, ID\, and release insects. Nicolas will identify and elaborate upon our captured specimens to explain general concepts. The netted insects are then released back into nature. The park is a great place to find a variety of interesting insects. \n\n\n\nPlease arrive on the patio at 7:50 am SHARP (or by 8:50 am SHARP for families with young children). Minors must be accompanied by an adult parent/guardian. Dogs are not appropriate for this event. DIFFICULTY: Easy\, geared to families with children\, as well as interested adults. This will not be a hike and should end around 10:00 am. \n\n\n\nDonations of $3 individual or $5 family to the PHP Conservancy are suggested\, to support park educational activities. Parents interested in learning more nature for their children can go to https://txmn.org/alamo/area-resources/natural-areas-and-linear-creekways-guide/family-nature-guides/ \n\n\n\nThis event’s general sponsors are the Phil Hardberger Park Conservancy\, the San Antonio Parks and Recreation Department’s Natural Area Office\, Alamo Area Master Naturalists\, and the Alamo Group of the Sierra Club. \n\n\n\nContact Stan Drezek (stanwendre@gmail.com) for additional information or questions. \n\n\n\nLEARN MORE AND REGISTER \n\n\n\nevent \n\n\n\nOrganizer: npsot.sanantonio@gmail.com \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nOrganizer: npsot.sanantonio@gmail.com
