Mad About Mammals

In this hands-on program, young naturalists will discover what makes mammals unique—fur, warm blood, and milk for their babies.

In this program we will be:

• Examining real mammal skulls, pelts, and tracks to become wildlife detectives
• Playing active games that demonstrate how mammals hunt, hide, and survive
• Exploring mammal adaptations like hibernation, migration, and camouflage
• Searching for signs of local mammals on our nature center grounds

Whether your child dreams of studying wildlife or simply loves animals, this program will spark curiosity about the mammals living right in our own backyards. Participants will leave with a deeper appreciation for these remarkable creatures and how we can help protect them.

This family program is suited for children 3+ with parent supervision.

What to bring: Dress for the weather as we may head outdoors. Closed-toe shoes required.

Please note that Lorrimer's building facilities will be going under construction sometime during the fall and winter. If this leads to cancelled programming, we will refund your order completely and let you know as soon as possible about these cancellations.

Registration ends at 5 pm the day before each event!

Cancellation Policy: NJ Audubon’s programs require a minimum number of registrants to run. If we cancel, due to lack of participation, severe weather, or unforeseen circumstances, all participants will be notified as soon as possible and are eligible for a full refund. Participants may cancel without penalty if greater than 48 hours in advance. Sorry, no refund for cancellations less than 48 hours in advance unless due to health emergencies; however registrations can be transferred to another program in the future.
