Event Description
Take a virtual field trip to the John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge!
Did you know that America’s first urban wildlife refuge is free, open to the public AND right here in Philadelphia? Take a virtual field trip to John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge at Tinicum with Academy educators and scientists to meet the caretakers of this incredible place. Discover how this urban refuge protects not only the plants and animals that live there but also serves the surrounding neighborhoods. Learn about the #Philabag initiative, educating Philadelphians about the travels of our trash, and how you can make an impact to address the problem of litter in our communities.
