Riverbend’s Tadpole Transformations

May 2 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

It’s that exciting time of the year again when the ponds fill to the brim with squirming tadpoles!

Join Riverbend’s Educators for this annual rite of spring that happens right here at Riverbend. Learn about the lifecycle of the amphibians that live at the preserve and see the tadpoles in action. This fun event is open to individuals and to families with children of all ages.

Guests will explore the preserve and visit activity stations to learn all about frogs. Guests are encouraged to visit at their own pace and stay as long as they wish.

This event is rain or shine so dress for the weather.
