September 8, 2000 - Rochester Hills Library - I found the Nature Center's mobile unit at the Rochester Hills Library presenting Explore Nature Through the Senses to groups of preschoolers (3-5 years old).

...with a warning about keeping a safe distance when a skunk is found in the wild.


The only live exhibit was this non-poisonous snake, a native of Michigan.


These boys wanted a really good look.


A rabbit helped to illustrate the sense of hearing...

Pretzels dipped in real maple syrup brought home the sense of taste.


Other exhibits included butterflies and moths,...


...a bat...


...and a fawn, one of two that was removed from the mother who had been found dead along the roadside.
