Wetlands are everywhere and you might not even realize it! Wetlands are areas of land usually found near waterways that are covered or are very saturated with water seasonally or permanently. Swamps, estuaries, ponds, marshes, and bogs are just a few examples of the many types of environments that fall into this category. These areas vary greatly and so do the plants and animals that live there. Explore how important wetlands are and what we can do to keep them healthy during Wetlands Weekend.

What if the Da Vinci Science Center didn’t exist?
Jane and her grandkids are sure glad it does. “If the Da Vinci Science Center didn’t exist, the kids wouldn’t have these opportunities to gain greater knowledge of science. Every parent wants to give their children the opportunity to achieve at their highest levels. By experiencing science at this level, kids are more encouraged, excited, and interested in STEAM fields.”
Join Jane and her family in supporting the Da Vinci Science Center tomorrow at 8 a.m. $10 can bring science to life for one under-served student. With Facebook’s #GivingTuesday match, $10 becomes $20 and one under-served student becomes two!
