The Nature Conservancy
We've got two amazing cafés lined up for the final stretch of the 22-23 school year, and you won't want to miss out! 
Mark your calendars for the first week of April because we've got an awesome two-part event with experts from The Nature Conservancy.
Part One: 
Monday, April 3rd at 6pm, join us at the (likely) Community Center for a discussion about climate resilience and biodiversity in our region.
Part Two: 
Saturday, April 8th from 1-3pm, we're heading to a local Conservancy property (the Lindy Roosenburg Preserve) for a hike and Bioblitz to explore our natural spaces!
Fast forward to Monday, May 8th at 5:00pm, when we'll meet with environmental engineer Guy Riefler at an acid mine drainage site in Millfield (just 15 minutes from the museum)! Learn about environmental pollution and how engineers help clean it up. We'll collect stream samples and run some experiments. If it rains, no worries - we'll meet at his lab on OU's campus instead.
Keep an eye out for more details, but in the meantime, spread the word and invite your friends!
