Learn all about the fascinating insects that live right here in the Willamette Valley! We’ll start out the class learning about the anatomy and defenses of various insects with a particular focus on some live specimens that have already been collected. Then we will paint with live Madagascar hissing cockroaches. Next,we will hunt for insects in the park and identify what we find. Some insect nets will be provided but students are welcome to bring their own. We will also learn about other methods entomologists use to collect insects including aspirators and beat sheets.
We honor this land and its original inhabitants from time immemorial, the Clackamas and Clowwewalla bands of Chinookan people, the Northern Molalla, and the Pudding River Band of Kalapuya. Signers of the Willamette Valley Treaty of 1855, they were removed from their homelands to the Grand Ronde Indian Reservation. Their descendants live on as Grand Ronde Tribal members today, carrying on the traditions and cultures of their ancestors.
