Secrets of the Pond

FOR ALL AGES Life at the pond is always changing. From the deck of Tyler’s pond, spot frogs, turtles, and tadpoles drifting among the vegetation. Watch water striders skate across the surface and dragonflies zoom through the air. Use a magnifying glass to explore water samples and discover tiny creatures hiding in the pond. If conditions are favorable, observe some water samples under a microscope for an even closer look! About your guide: Sue Fredrick is a long-time Tyler volunteer and naturalist.
