Join Pocosin Lakes National Wildlife Refuge and North Carolina Wildlife Federation for April’s ecoEXPLORE “Leaf No Doubt” program at the refuge indoor classroom! We will explore our surroundings behind the visitor center while paying special attention to the characteristics of tree leaves all around us to help complete the “Leaf No Doubt” tree challenge! After this program, your child(ren) will be one step closer to achieving their tree field focus badge! By learning about leaves, we can make more confident tree identifications which is an important skill. Observing different tree species can tell us so much about a habitat, surrounding ecosystem, AND what wildlife species are supported by those trees.

ecoEXPLORE is a community science program, created by the North Carolina Arboretum, where children of all ages are able to learn how to identify wildlife around them, help real scientists track wildlife activity, and earn fun badges and prizes all at the same time!
