Get Wild: Caterpillars Count!

Join TLC for some family friendly bug discovery!

Caterpillars, beetles and bugs are getting into the swing of summer just like us! Come investigate the crawlers of Johnston Mill Nature Preserve with an insect search through the forest. Learn how to safely catch and release insects for observation and find out what makes them special! 

Get Wild! Hikes and activities are most appropriate for 3rd – 5th grade age range. Bring sun protection, a water bottle, and shoes that can get muddy. Please register all members of the family attending, including children and adults.

This is a free event, but preregistration is required. The registration link will be posted a month before the program date, so keep an eye on our events calendar.

Current Mask Policy: TLC seeks to build a supportive, mask-friendly environment in all collaborations with staff and the public. Please wear a mask if you are not vaccinated, or if that makes you feel most comfortable. We will have masks available if you would like to wear one during an event. We also encourage those eligible to be vaccinated to get their Covid-19 vaccine and booster shot. If you are experiencing any Covid-related symptoms, please stay home and attend a program another day. Our top priority is to create a safe environment for our community. Thank you for your understanding.
