Location: 500 Walk Hill St, Mattapan, MA, 02126

Not afraid to ask the hard questions? Who? What? Where? Why? We are on the lookout for a few good detectives to help us out with the day to day mysteries here at the BNC. We will track wild animals across the grounds, uncover the secrets of life in the soil, and investigate the hidden stories of the meadow.

Themes vary seasonally, but there is always something new to discover. Adults are welcome to join the group or relax indoors. Preregistration is required.

Program is held at Mass Audubon's Boston Nature Center
